We're dividing 277494 by 16 
We want to figure out the number of times 277494 can be divided by 16.

Step 1:
16 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 16

Advancing to step 2:
The number 16 fits into 27 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 16 away from 27, we end up with 11.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 117 / 16

On to step 3:
The number 16 fits into 117 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 112 from 117 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 16

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 54 by 16, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 173.0
Subtract 48 from 54 to get 6.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 16

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 16 fits into 69 4 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1734.0
Deduct 64 from 69 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 16

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 16 fits into 54 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17343.0
Subtract 48 from 54 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
60 divided by 16 is 3 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17343.3
Deduct 48 from 60 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
The number 16 fits into 120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17343.37
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 112 from 120.
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:
When dividing 80 by 16, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17343.375
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.

Advancing to step 10:
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: 17343.375
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.

On to step 11:
0 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17343.375
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 17343.375 with a balance of 0.0.
