We divide 278780 by 16
Our goal is to divide 278780 by 16.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 16

On to step 2:
16 goes into 27 1 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 16 away from 27, we end up with 11.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 118 / 16

Let's proceed to step 3:
118 divided by 16 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 112 from 118 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 67 / 16

Step 4:
67 divided by 16 is 4 with a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtracting 64 from 67 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 16

Advancing to step 5:
16 can be fit into 38 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1742.0
Deduct 32 from 38 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 60 / 16

Going ahead to step 6:
60 divided by 16 is 3 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17423.0
Subtracting 48 from 60 leaves us with 12.
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 7:
If we divide 120 by 16, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17423.7
If we take 112 away from 120, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
16 can be fit into 80 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17423.75
If we take 80 away from 80, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17423.75
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 16 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17423.75
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.

The quotient of the division is 17423.75, and the remainder is 0.0.
