We divide 496722 by 16
We want to figure out the number of times 496722 can be divided by 16.

On to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 16

Going ahead to step 2:
49 divided by 16 is 3 with a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 48 from 49 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 16 / 16

Step 3:
If we divide 16 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31.0
If we take 16 away from 16, we end up with 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 16

Going ahead to step 4:
7 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 310.0
If we take 0 away from 7, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 72 / 16

Step 5:
16 goes into 72 4 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3104.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 64 from 72.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 82 / 16

Step 6:
16 can be fit into 82 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31045.0
Subtracting 80 from 82 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
16 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 31045.1
Subtracting 16 from 20 leaves us 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:
If we divide 40 by 16, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31045.12
Subtracting 32 from 40 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.

On to step 9:
The number 16 fits into 80 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 31045.125
Deduct 80 from 80 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.

Step 10:
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: 31045.125
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 0 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 31045.125
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 31045.125 with a remaining 0.0.
