We look at the division of 491977 by 16 
Our goal is to divide 491977 by 16.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 16

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 49 by 16, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 48 from 49 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 16

Let's proceed to step 3:
16 can be fit into 11 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtract 0 from 11 to get 11.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 119 / 16

On to step 4:
16 goes into 119 7 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 307.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 112 from 119.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 77 / 16

Step 5:
When dividing 77 by 16, we get 4 with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3074.0
If we take 64 away from 77, we end up with 13.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 137 / 16

Moving on to step 6:
16 can be fit into 137 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30748.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 128 from 137.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 7:
16 goes into 90 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30748.5
Deduct 80 from 90 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
100 divided by 16 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30748.56
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 96 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 40 by 16, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 30748.562
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 32 from 40.
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:
If we divide 80 by 16, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30748.5625
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.

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: 30748.5625
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:
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: 30748.5625
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.

Our division results in 30748.5625 with a remaining 0.0.
