We divide 543659 by 16
We're looking to find how many times 16 goes into 543659.

Going ahead to step 1:
5 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 16

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 54 by 16, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 48 from 54 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 63 / 16

On to step 3:
If we divide 63 by 16, we get 3 and a remainder of 15.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33.0
If we subtract 48 from 63, we get 15.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 156 / 16

Step 4:
When dividing 156 by 16, we get 9 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 339.0
Deduct 144 from 156 and we're left with 12.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 125 / 16

Advancing to step 5:
125 divided by 16 is 7 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3397.0
Subtract 112 from 125 to get 13.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 139 / 16

Moving on to step 6:
The number 16 fits into 139 8 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33978.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 128 from 139.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 16 fits into 110 6 times, leaving a remainder of 14.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33978.6
Subtract 96 from 110 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
16 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33978.68
If we subtract 128 from 140, we get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
16 goes into 120 7 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33978.687
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.

Let's proceed 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: 33978.6875
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.

Advancing to step 11:
0 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33978.6875
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

On to step 12:
If we divide 0 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33978.6875
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

The final outcome is 33978.6875, with a leftover of 0.0.
