Let's divide 531249 by 16
Let's see how many times 16 fits into 531249.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 16

Going ahead to step 2:
16 goes into 53 3 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 48 from 53 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 51 / 16

Moving on to step 3:
When dividing 51 by 16, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 33.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 48 from 51.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 32 / 16

Step 4:
If we divide 32 by 16, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 332.0
If we take 32 away from 32, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 16

Step 5:
4 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 3320.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 16

Let's proceed to step 6:
16 can be fit into 49 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33203.0
Subtract 48 from 49 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 33203.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up 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.

Advancing to step 8:
100 divided by 16 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 33203.06
Subtract 96 from 100 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.

Step 9:
The number 16 fits into 40 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 33203.062
Subtracting 32 from 40 leaves us 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:
When dividing 80 by 16, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33203.0625
Subtract 80 from 80 to 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:
When dividing 0 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 33203.0625
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: 33203.0625
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.

After the division, we end up with 33203.0625 and a remainder of 0.0.
