We're dividing 279699 by 16 
We're looking to find how many times 16 goes into 279699.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 27 / 16

On to step 2:
The number 16 fits into 27 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 16 away from 27, we end up with 11.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 119 / 16

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 16 fits into 119 7 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 112 from 119 and we're left with 7.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 76 / 16

On to step 4:
76 divided by 16 is 4 with a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 174.0
If we subtract 64 from 76, we get 12.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 129 / 16

Advancing to step 5:
16 goes into 129 8 times with a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1748.0
If we subtract 128 from 129, we get 1.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 16

On to step 6:
If we divide 19 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17481.0
Subtracting 16 from 19 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 14.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17481.1
Subtracting 16 from 30 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
The number 16 fits into 140 8 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17481.18
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 128 from 140.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 16 fits into 120 7 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17481.187
Subtracting 112 from 120 leaves us 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 10:
16 can be fit into 80 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17481.1875
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.

On to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17481.1875
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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17481.1875
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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 outcome is 17481.1875, with a leftover of 0.0.
