We look at the division of 988239 by 16 
Our goal is to divide 988239 by 16.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 16

On to step 2:
The number 16 fits into 98 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 96 from 98 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 16

Advancing to step 3:
16 goes into 28 1 times with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we take 16 away from 28, we end up with 12.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 122 / 16

Moving on to step 4:
The number 16 fits into 122 7 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 617.0
If we take 112 away from 122, we end up with 10.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 103 / 16

Let's proceed to step 5:
103 divided by 16 is 6 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6176.0
Subtracting 96 from 103 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 79 / 16

On to step 6:
When dividing 79 by 16, we get 4 with a remainder of 15.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61764.0
Subtract 64 from 79 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
16 goes into 150 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61764.9
If we take 144 away from 150, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 60 by 16, we get 3 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61764.93
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 48 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 9:
120 divided by 16 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61764.937
Subtracting 112 from 120 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 16, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 61764.9375
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 80 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61764.9375
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 0 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61764.9375
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 61764.9375 with a balance of 0.0.
