We look at the division of 489842 by 16 
Our goal is to divide 489842 by 16.

Moving on to step 1:
16 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 16

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 48 by 16, we get 3 with a remainder of 0.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 48 from 48 and we're left with 0.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 9 / 16

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 16 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 30.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 98 / 16

Going ahead to step 4:
16 goes into 98 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 306.0
Subtracting 96 from 98 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 24 / 16

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 24 by 16, we get 1 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3061.0
Subtract 16 from 24 to get 8.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 82 / 16

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 82 by 16, we get 5 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30615.0
If we subtract 80 from 82, we get 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 7:
20 divided by 16 is 1 with a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30615.1
If we subtract 16 from 20, we 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.

On to step 8:
16 goes into 40 2 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30615.12
Deduct 32 from 40 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 9:
16 goes into 80 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30615.125
If we take 80 away from 80, 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.

Step 10:
0 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 30615.125
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
16 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30615.125
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.

Our division results in 30615.125 with a remaining 0.0.
