We're dividing 204491 by 16 
We're looking to find how many times 16 goes into 204491.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 16 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 20 / 16

Step 2:
16 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 16 from 20.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 44 / 16

Going ahead to step 3:
16 can be fit into 44 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 32 from 44, we get 12.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 124 / 16

Advancing to step 4:
16 goes into 124 7 times with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 127.0
If we subtract 112 from 124, we get 12.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 129 / 16

Moving on to step 5:
129 divided by 16 is 8 with a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1278.0
If we subtract 128 from 129, we get 1.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 11 / 16

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 16 fits into 11 0 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12780.0
If we subtract 0 from 11, we get 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 110 by 16, we get 6 with a remainder of 14.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12780.6
Deduct 96 from 110 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 140 by 16, we get 8 and a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12780.68
If we subtract 128 from 140, we get 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 9:
When dividing 120 by 16, we get 7 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 12780.687
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
16 can be fit into 80 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12780.6875
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.

Step 11:
0 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12780.6875
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.

Advancing to step 12:
16 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 12780.6875
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 12780.6875 with a remainder of 0.0.
