We look at the division of 260442 by 16 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 16 in 260442.

Step 1:
The number 16 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 16

Going ahead to step 2:
26 divided by 16 is 1 with a remainder of 10.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 16 from 26 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 100 / 16

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 16 fits into 100 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 96 from 100.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 44 / 16

On to step 4:
The number 16 fits into 44 2 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 162.0
If we subtract 32 from 44, we get 12.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 124 / 16

Let's proceed to step 5:
16 goes into 124 7 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1627.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 112 from 124.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 122 / 16

Let's proceed to step 6:
16 can be fit into 122 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16277.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 112 from 122.
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 7:
When dividing 100 by 16, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16277.6
Deduct 96 from 100 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 16, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16277.62
If we take 32 away from 40, we end up 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 9:
If we divide 80 by 16, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16277.625
If we subtract 80 from 80, 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.

On to step 10:
The number 16 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16277.625
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:
If we divide 0 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 16277.625
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.

The quotient of the division is 16277.625, and the remainder is 0.0.
