278718 divided by 16 
Let's see how many times 16 fits into 278718.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 16

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 27 by 16, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 16 from 27 and we're left with 11.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 16

Let's proceed to step 3:
16 goes into 118 7 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 112 from 118, we get 6.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 67 / 16

Going ahead to step 4:
67 divided by 16 is 4 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 174.0
If we subtract 64 from 67, we get 3.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 31 / 16

Moving on to step 5:
16 can be fit into 31 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1741.0
If we take 16 away from 31, we end up with 15.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 158 / 16

Step 6:
16 can be fit into 158 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17419.0
Deduct 144 from 158 and we're left with 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 140 by 16, we get 8 with a remainder of 12.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17419.8
Subtracting 128 from 140 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 8:
120 divided by 16 is 7 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 17419.87
Deduct 112 from 120 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.

Advancing to step 9:
16 can be fit into 80 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17419.875
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.

On to step 10:
0 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17419.875
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.

Going ahead to step 11:
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: 17419.875
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.

Our division results in 17419.875 with a remaining 0.0.
