996981 divided by 16 
We want to figure out the number of times 996981 can be divided by 16.

Let's proceed to step 1:
16 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 16

Moving on to step 2:
The number 16 fits into 99 6 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 96 from 99 to get 3.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 36 / 16

Moving on to step 3:
16 goes into 36 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62.0
If we subtract 32 from 36, we get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 16

On to step 4:
If we divide 49 by 16, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 623.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 48 from 49.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 16

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 18 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6231.0
Deduct 16 from 18 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 16

Advancing to step 6:
The number 16 fits into 21 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62311.0
Subtract 16 from 21 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 16 fits into 50 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 62311.3
Subtract 48 from 50 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
20 divided by 16 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 62311.31
If we subtract 16 from 20, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
40 divided by 16 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62311.312
If we take 32 away from 40, we end up 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:
The number 16 fits into 80 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 62311.3125
Subtracting 80 from 80 leaves us 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 11:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62311.3125
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 12:
0 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 62311.3125
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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.

After the division, we end up with 62311.3125 and a remainder of 0.0.
