Let's divide 437431 by 16
We're looking to find how many times 16 goes into 437431.

Step 1:
The number 16 fits into 4 0 times, leaving 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.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 43 / 16

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 43 by 16, we get 2 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 32 from 43 leaves us with 11.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 117 / 16

Step 3:
16 goes into 117 7 times with a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
If we take 112 away from 117, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 16

Step 4:
16 goes into 54 3 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 273.0
Subtract 48 from 54 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 63 / 16

Moving on to step 5:
16 can be fit into 63 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2733.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 48 from 63.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 151 / 16

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 151 by 16, we get 9 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27339.0
Deduct 144 from 151 and we're left with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
16 goes into 70 4 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27339.4
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 64 from 70.
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 8:
If we divide 60 by 16, we get 3 and a remainder of 12.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27339.43
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 48 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
The number 16 fits into 120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27339.437
Deduct 112 from 120 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 10:
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: 27339.4375
Subtract 80 from 80 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.

Going ahead to step 11:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27339.4375
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.

Step 12:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27339.4375
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 final result is 27339.4375 with a remainder of 0.0.
