We divide 977173 by 16
We want to figure out the number of times 977173 can be divided by 16.

Going ahead 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
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 16

Let's proceed to step 2:
16 can be fit into 97 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 96 from 97, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 16

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 17 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 16 from 17.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 16

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 11 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 610.0
If we take 0 away from 11, we end up with 11.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 117 / 16

Going ahead to step 5:
117 divided by 16 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6107.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 112 from 117.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 53 / 16

Going ahead to step 6:
53 divided by 16 is 3 with a remainder of 5.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61073.0
Deduct 48 from 53 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.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 16 fits into 50 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 61073.3
Subtracting 48 from 50 leaves us 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.

On to step 8:
16 goes into 20 1 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 61073.31
Subtract 16 from 20 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
40 divided by 16 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 61073.312
If we take 32 away from 40, we end up 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.

On to step 10:
16 goes into 80 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61073.3125
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.

On to step 11:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61073.3125
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
0 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 61073.3125
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.

The final outcome is 61073.3125, with a leftover of 0.0.
