We look at the division of 548859 by 16 
We want to divide 548859 by 16.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 16 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 16

Let's proceed to step 2:
16 goes into 54 3 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 48 from 54.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 68 / 16

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 68 by 16, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
Subtract 64 from 68 to get 4.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 48 / 16

Step 4:
When dividing 48 by 16, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 343.0
Deduct 48 from 48 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 5 / 16

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 5 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3430.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 16

Step 6:
If we divide 59 by 16, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34303.0
If we take 48 away from 59, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 110 by 16, we get 6 and a remainder of 14.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34303.6
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 96 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
140 divided by 16 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34303.68
If we take 128 away from 140, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
16 goes into 120 7 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 34303.687
Deduct 112 from 120 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
16 can be fit into 80 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34303.6875
If we subtract 80 from 80, we get 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 11:
16 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34303.6875
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
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: 34303.6875
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 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 34303.6875 with a balance of 0.0.
