279705 ÷ 16 
We're looking to find how many times 16 goes into 279705.

Step 1:
2 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 16

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 16, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 16 from 27, we get 11.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 11, then carry on: 119 / 16

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 119 by 16, we get 7 with a remainder of 7.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 112 from 119.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 77 / 16

On to step 4:
When dividing 77 by 16, we get 4 with a remainder of 13.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 64 from 77.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 13 and continue with: 130 / 16

On to step 5:
16 can be fit into 130 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1748.0
If we subtract 128 from 130, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 25 / 16

Advancing to step 6:
25 divided by 16 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17481.0
Subtract 16 from 25 to get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
16 goes into 90 5 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17481.5
If we subtract 80 from 90, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to 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: 17481.56
If we subtract 96 from 100, we 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.

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: 17481.562
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.

On 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: 17481.5625
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.

Step 11:
16 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17481.5625
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.

Moving on to step 12:
16 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17481.5625
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.

The final outcome is 17481.5625, with a leftover of 0.0.
