We divide 284042 by 16
We want to figure out the number of times 284042 can be divided by 16.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 16

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 28 by 16, we get 1 with a remainder of 12.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 16 from 28.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 12 and continue: 124 / 16

Advancing to step 3:
The number 16 fits into 124 7 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtracting 112 from 124 leaves us with 12.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 120 / 16

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 120 by 16, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 177.0
Subtract 112 from 120 to get 8.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 84 / 16

Going ahead to step 5:
16 can be fit into 84 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1775.0
Subtracting 80 from 84 leaves us with 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 16

On to step 6:
If we divide 42 by 16, we get 2 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17752.0
If we subtract 32 from 42, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 16 fits into 100 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17752.6
If we subtract 96 from 100, 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 40 by 16, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17752.62
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.

On to step 9:
16 can be fit into 80 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17752.625
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17752.625
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 11:
The number 16 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17752.625
Subtract 0 from 0 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.

The final result is 17752.625 with a remainder of 0.0.
