We look at the division of 278184 by 16 
We want to divide 278184 by 16.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 16

Step 2:
16 goes into 27 1 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 16 from 27 leaves us with 11.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 16

Moving on to step 3:
16 goes into 118 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 112 from 118, we get 6.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 61 / 16

Let's proceed to step 4:
16 goes into 61 3 times with a remainder of 13.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 173.0
Subtract 48 from 61 to get 13.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 138 / 16

Let's proceed to step 5:
138 divided by 16 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1738.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 128 from 138.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 104 / 16

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 104 by 16, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17386.0
If we take 96 away from 104, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
80 divided by 16 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17386.5
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.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17386.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17386.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, 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.

The final result is 17386.5 with a remainder of 0.0.
