242499 ÷ 16 
We're looking to find how many times 16 goes into 242499.

Step 1:
2 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 16

Advancing to step 2:
16 can be fit into 24 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 16 from 24 to get 8.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 82 / 16

Going ahead to step 3:
16 goes into 82 5 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 15.0
If we take 80 away from 82, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 16

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 24 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 151.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 16 from 24.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 89 / 16

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 89 by 16, we get 5 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1515.0
Subtract 80 from 89 to get 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 16

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 99 by 16, we get 6 and a remainder of 3.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 15156.0
Deduct 96 from 99 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15156.1
Subtract 16 from 30 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 140 by 16, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 15156.18
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.

Advancing to step 9:
16 can be fit into 120 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 15156.187
If we take 112 away from 120, 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 10:
16 goes into 80 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15156.1875
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.

Moving on 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: 15156.1875
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.

Step 12:
0 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 15156.1875
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.

After the division, we end up with 15156.1875 and a remainder of 0.0.
