272257 divided by 16 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 16 in 272257.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 16

Step 2:
16 goes into 27 1 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 16 from 27 leaves us with 11.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 112 / 16

Step 3:
The number 16 fits into 112 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 112 from 112.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 2 / 16

Let's proceed to step 4:
16 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 170.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 16

Let's proceed to step 5:
16 goes into 25 1 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1701.0
If we subtract 16 from 25, we get 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 16

Let's proceed to step 6:
97 divided by 16 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17016.0
If we take 96 away from 97, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
10 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17016.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 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 8:
16 goes into 100 6 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17016.06
Subtracting 96 from 100 leaves us 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
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: 17016.062
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 10:
The number 16 fits into 80 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17016.0625
If we take 80 away from 80, 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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17016.0625
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.

Step 12:
0 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17016.0625
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.

Our division results in 17016.0625 with a remaining 0.0.
