298831 ÷ 16 
We want to divide 298831 by 16.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 29 / 16

Moving on to step 2:
16 goes into 29 1 times with a remainder of 13.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 16 from 29 and we're left with 13.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 13, then carry on: 138 / 16

Step 3:
138 divided by 16 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18.0
If we subtract 128 from 138, we get 10.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 108 / 16

Step 4:
The number 16 fits into 108 6 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 186.0
Subtracting 96 from 108 leaves us with 12.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 12 and repeat the process: 123 / 16

Moving on to step 5:
16 goes into 123 7 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 1867.0
Deduct 112 from 123 and we're left with 11.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 111 / 16

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 111 by 16, we get 6 and a remainder of 15.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18676.0
Subtract 96 from 111 to get 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 7:
150 divided by 16 is 9 with a remainder of 6.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18676.9
Deduct 144 from 150 and we're left with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
16 can be fit into 60 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 18676.93
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 48 from 60.
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:
The number 16 fits into 120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18676.937
Deduct 112 from 120 and we're left 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.

Moving on to step 10:
80 divided by 16 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18676.9375
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.

Step 11:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 18676.9375
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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 12:
The number 16 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 18676.9375
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 18676.9375, with a leftover of 0.0.
