We're dividing 726817 by 16 
Our goal is to divide 726817 by 16.

Going ahead to step 1:
16 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 72 / 16

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 72 by 16, we get 4 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 64 away from 72, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 86 / 16

On to step 3:
86 divided by 16 is 5 with a remainder of 6.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45.0
If we take 80 away from 86, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 16

On to step 4:
16 goes into 68 4 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 454.0
Subtracting 64 from 68 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 41 / 16

Step 5:
When dividing 41 by 16, we get 2 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4542.0
If we take 32 away from 41, we end up with 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 16

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 97 by 16, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 45426.0
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.

Step 7:
The number 16 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 45426.0
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:
When dividing 100 by 16, we get 6 with a remainder of 4.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 45426.06
Subtract 96 from 100 to get 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:
If we divide 40 by 16, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 45426.062
Subtracting 32 from 40 leaves us 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:
80 divided by 16 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 45426.0625
If we subtract 80 from 80, we 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.

Advancing to step 11:
16 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 45426.0625
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: 45426.0625
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.

The final result is 45426.0625 with a remainder of 0.0.
