Let's divide 959887 by 16
We want to figure out the number of times 959887 can be divided by 16.

Let's proceed to step 1:
16 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 95 / 16

Advancing to step 2:
The number 16 fits into 95 5 times, leaving a remainder of 15.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 80 from 95 to get 15.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 159 / 16

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 159 by 16, we get 9 with a remainder of 15.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we take 144 away from 159, we end up with 15.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 158 / 16

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 158 by 16, we get 9 and a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 599.0
Deduct 144 from 158 and we're left with 14.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 148 / 16

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 148 by 16, we get 9 with a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5999.0
Subtracting 144 from 148 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 47 / 16

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 47 by 16, we get 2 with a remainder of 15.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 59992.0
Subtracting 32 from 47 leaves us with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
16 can be fit into 150 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 59992.9
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 144 from 150.
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:
The number 16 fits into 60 3 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59992.93
Deduct 48 from 60 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 9:
When dividing 120 by 16, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 59992.937
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.

Going ahead 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: 59992.9375
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 16 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 59992.9375
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 12:
16 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59992.9375
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 59992.9375 and a remainder of 0.0.
