We're dividing 979548 by 16 
We want to figure out the number of times 979548 can be divided by 16.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 9 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 16

On to step 2:
If we divide 97 by 16, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 96 from 97 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 16

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 19 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we subtract 16 from 19, we get 3.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 35 / 16

Step 4:
16 goes into 35 2 times with a remainder of 3.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 612.0
If we subtract 32 from 35, we get 3.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 34 / 16

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 34 by 16, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6122.0
Deduct 32 from 34 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 16

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 28 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 12.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61221.0
Deduct 16 from 28 and we're left with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 16 fits into 120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61221.7
Subtract 112 from 120 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 80 by 16, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 61221.75
Deduct 80 from 80 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
16 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61221.75
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
0 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61221.75
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.

The final result is 61221.75 with a remainder of 0.0.
