We look at the division of 342842 by 16 
We want to divide 342842 by 16.

Let's proceed to step 1:
16 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 0 from 3.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 34 / 16

Going ahead to step 2:
34 divided by 16 is 2 with a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 32 from 34.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 22 / 16

Let's proceed to step 3:
16 can be fit into 22 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21.0
If we subtract 16 from 22, we get 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 16

Advancing to step 4:
16 can be fit into 68 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 214.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 64 from 68.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 44 / 16

Step 5:
44 divided by 16 is 2 with a remainder of 12.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2142.0
Subtracting 32 from 44 leaves us with 12.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 122 / 16

Moving on to step 6:
The number 16 fits into 122 7 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21427.0
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:
16 can be fit into 100 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 21427.6
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 96 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 16, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21427.62
If we subtract 32 from 40, we get 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.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21427.625
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 80 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 10:
0 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 21427.625
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:
If we divide 0 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 21427.625
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 21427.625 with a balance of 0.0.
