Let's divide 499841 by 16
Let's see how many times 16 fits into 499841.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 16

Moving on to step 2:
16 can be fit into 49 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 48 away from 49, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 16

Step 3:
When dividing 19 by 16, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 16 from 19 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 38 / 16

Moving on to step 4:
The number 16 fits into 38 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 312.0
Subtracting 32 from 38 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 64 / 16

On to step 5:
16 can be fit into 64 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 3124.0
Subtract 64 from 64 to get 0.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 1 / 16

Let's proceed to step 6:
1 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31240.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
16 can be fit into 10 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31240.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, 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 8:
If we divide 100 by 16, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 31240.06
Deduct 96 from 100 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
16 can be fit into 40 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 31240.062
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 80 by 16, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 31240.0625
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.

Moving on to step 11:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31240.0625
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.

Going ahead to step 12:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31240.0625
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 31240.0625 with a balance of 0.0.
