We divide 981687 by 16
We're looking to find how many times 16 goes into 981687.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 16

Advancing 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
Subtracting 96 from 98 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 21 / 16

Going ahead to step 3:
16 goes into 21 1 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we take 16 away from 21, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 56 / 16

Let's proceed to step 4:
16 goes into 56 3 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 613.0
Deduct 48 from 56 and we're left with 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 16

On to step 5:
16 goes into 88 5 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6135.0
If we take 80 away from 88, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 87 / 16

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 87 by 16, we get 5 with a remainder of 7.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61355.0
Subtracting 80 from 87 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 70 by 16, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61355.4
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 64 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
60 divided by 16 is 3 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 61355.43
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.

Moving on to step 9:
120 divided by 16 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61355.437
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 16, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61355.4375
If we take 80 away from 80, we end up 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 11:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61355.4375
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
The number 16 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61355.4375
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.

The final outcome is 61355.4375, with a leftover of 0.0.
