Let's divide 279642 by 16
The aim is to understand the frequency of 16 in 279642.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
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:
If we divide 27 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 11.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 16 from 27.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 119 / 16

Moving on to step 3:
The number 16 fits into 119 7 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 112 from 119.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 76 / 16

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 76 by 16, we get 4 and a remainder of 12.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 64 from 76.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 124 / 16

Step 5:
16 can be fit into 124 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1747.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 112 from 124.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 12, then repeat: 122 / 16

Let's proceed to step 6:
16 can be fit into 122 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17477.0
Subtracting 112 from 122 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 16 fits into 100 6 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 17477.6
Deduct 96 from 100 and we're left 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.

On to step 8:
The number 16 fits into 40 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17477.62
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 9:
The number 16 fits into 80 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17477.625
Subtracting 80 from 80 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17477.625
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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 16 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17477.625
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.

Our division results in 17477.625 with a remaining 0.0.
