We look at the division of 549989 by 16 
We want to figure out the number of times 549989 can be divided by 16.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 16 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 16

Step 2:
54 divided by 16 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 48 from 54 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 69 / 16

On to step 3:
If we divide 69 by 16, we get 4 and a remainder of 5.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 34.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 64 from 69.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 59 / 16

On to step 4:
16 can be fit into 59 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 343.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 48 from 59.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 118 / 16

On to step 5:
16 can be fit into 118 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3437.0
Deduct 112 from 118 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 69 / 16

Going ahead to step 6:
16 goes into 69 4 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34374.0
If we subtract 64 from 69, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 16 fits into 50 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34374.3
Deduct 48 from 50 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
16 goes into 20 1 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 34374.31
If we take 16 away from 20, we end up 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.

On to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 16, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 34374.312
Subtract 32 from 40 to 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 10:
80 divided by 16 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 34374.3125
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.

Advancing to step 11:
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: 34374.3125
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 34374.3125
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.

The quotient of the division is 34374.3125, and the remainder is 0.0.
