Let's divide 787973 by 16
We're looking to find how many times 16 goes into 787973.

Step 1:
The number 16 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 78 / 16

Step 2:
16 goes into 78 4 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 64 from 78 and we're left with 14.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 147 / 16

Advancing to step 3:
16 can be fit into 147 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49.0
If we take 144 away from 147, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 39 / 16

On to step 4:
39 divided by 16 is 2 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 492.0
Subtract 32 from 39 to get 7.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 77 / 16

Moving on to step 5:
16 can be fit into 77 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4924.0
Subtract 64 from 77 to get 13.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 13 and repeat the process: 133 / 16

Let's proceed to step 6:
16 goes into 133 8 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 49248.0
Subtracting 128 from 133 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 7:
16 goes into 50 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49248.3
Deduct 48 from 50 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
16 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49248.31
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.

Advancing to step 9:
16 can be fit into 40 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 49248.312
Subtracting 32 from 40 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.

Advancing to step 10:
16 can be fit into 80 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 49248.3125
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 80 from 80.
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 11:
If we divide 0 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 49248.3125
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.

Advancing 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: 49248.3125
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.

The final outcome is 49248.3125, with a leftover of 0.0.
