Let's divide 987029 by 16
Let's see how many times 16 fits into 987029.

On to step 1:
9 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 16

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 16 fits into 98 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Deduct 96 from 98 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 16

On to step 3:
27 divided by 16 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
Subtract 16 from 27 to get 11.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 110 / 16

On to step 4:
When dividing 110 by 16, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 616.0
Subtract 96 from 110 to get 14.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 142 / 16

On to step 5:
142 divided by 16 is 8 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6168.0
If we take 128 away from 142, we end up with 14.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 149 / 16

Advancing to step 6:
The number 16 fits into 149 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61689.0
Deduct 144 from 149 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

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: 61689.3
If we subtract 48 from 50, we 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.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61689.31
Subtracting 16 from 20 leaves us with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
40 divided by 16 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61689.312
Deduct 32 from 40 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 16, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 61689.3125
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.

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: 61689.3125
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.

Step 12:
When dividing 0 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 61689.3125
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 61689.3125 and a remainder of 0.0.
