Let's divide 116686 by 16
The aim is to understand the frequency of 16 in 116686.

Let's proceed to step 1:
1 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 16

Step 2:
If we divide 11 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 11 to get 11.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 116 / 16

Going ahead to step 3:
16 goes into 116 7 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 7.0
If we subtract 112 from 116, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 16

Moving on to step 4:
16 can be fit into 46 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 72.0
Subtracting 32 from 46 leaves us with 14.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 148 / 16

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 148 by 16, we get 9 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 729.0
Deduct 144 from 148 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 46 / 16

On to step 6:
16 goes into 46 2 times with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 7292.0
Deduct 32 from 46 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
16 goes into 140 8 times with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 7292.8
If we take 128 away from 140, we end up with 12.
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 8:
The number 16 fits into 120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 7292.87
Subtracting 112 from 120 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.

Let's proceed 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: 7292.875
Subtracting 80 from 80 leaves us 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 10:
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: 7292.875
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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 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: 7292.875
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 7292.875, with a leftover of 0.0.
