Let's divide 264372 by 16
We want to figure out the number of times 264372 can be divided by 16.

Step 1:
16 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 26 / 16

On to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 16 from 26 and we're left with 10.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 104 / 16

Advancing to step 3:
The number 16 fits into 104 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
Subtract 96 from 104 to get 8.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 83 / 16

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 16 fits into 83 5 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 165.0
Subtract 80 from 83 to get 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 16

Advancing to step 5:
37 divided by 16 is 2 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1652.0
Subtracting 32 from 37 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 52 / 16

Step 6:
52 divided by 16 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 16523.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 48 from 52.
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 7:
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: 16523.2
Deduct 32 from 40 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
16 goes into 80 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16523.25
Subtract 80 from 80 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:
16 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 16523.25
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
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: 16523.25
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.

The final result is 16523.25 with a remainder of 0.0.
