1. **State the problem:** We need to divide 101 by 16. 2. **Formula used:** Division is the operation of determining how many times one number is contained within another. Here, we calculate $\frac{101}{16}$. 3. **Perform the division:** $$\frac{101}{16} = 6.3125$$ 4. **Explanation:** 16 goes into 101 six full times (since $16 \times 6 = 96$), and the remainder is $101 - 96 = 5$. Dividing the remainder by 16 gives $\frac{5}{16} = 0.3125$. Adding these gives the decimal result 6.3125. **Final answer:** $6.3125$
