We look at the division of 16538 by 66 
We're looking to find how many times 66 goes into 16538.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 66, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 16 / 66

Moving on to step 2:
The number 66 fits into 16 0 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 16, we end up with 16.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 16, then repeat: 165 / 66

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 66 fits into 165 2 times, leaving a remainder of 33.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 132 from 165 to get 33.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 33 and continue with: 333 / 66

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 66 fits into 333 5 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 330 from 333 and we're left with 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 66

Moving on to step 5:
66 goes into 38 0 times with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 250.0
Subtract 0 from 38 to get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 380 by 66, we get 5 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 250.5
If we take 330 away from 380, we end up with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
The number 66 fits into 500 7 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 250.57
If we take 462 away from 500, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
380 divided by 66 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 250.575
The remainder is 50 after subtracting 330 from 380.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
The number 66 fits into 500 7 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 250.5757
If we take 462 away from 500, we end up with 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
380 divided by 66 is 5 with a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 250.57575
Subtracting 330 from 380 leaves us with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
66 goes into 500 7 times with a remainder of 38.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 250.575757
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 462 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Step 12:
66 can be fit into 380 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 50.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 250.5757575
Deduct 330 from 380 and we're left with 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 500, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
The number 66 fits into 500 7 times, leaving a remainder of 38.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 250.57575757
The remainder is 38 after subtracting 462 from 500.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 250.57575757, and the remainder is 3.8e-08.
