7242 ÷ 16 
We're looking to find how many times 16 goes into 7242.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 7 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 16

Moving on to step 2:
72 divided by 16 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 64 away from 72, we end up with 8.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 84 / 16

On to step 3:
16 goes into 84 5 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 45.0
Subtracting 80 from 84 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 16

Advancing to step 4:
16 can be fit into 42 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 452.0
Subtracting 32 from 42 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 5:
100 divided by 16 is 6 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 452.6
Subtracting 96 from 100 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 6:
40 divided by 16 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 452.62
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 32 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 7:
16 goes into 80 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 452.625
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 80 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 452.625
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.

Advancing to step 9:
0 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 452.625
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.

After the division, we end up with 452.625 and a remainder of 0.0.
