We look at the division of 287920 by 16 
Our goal is to divide 287920 by 16.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 16 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 28 / 16

Going ahead to step 2:
The number 16 fits into 28 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 16 away from 28, we end up with 12.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 12 and continue with: 127 / 16

Step 3:
16 can be fit into 127 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 15.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 112 from 127 and we're left with 15.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 159 / 16

On to step 4:
If we divide 159 by 16, we get 9 and a remainder of 15.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 179.0
Subtract 144 from 159 to get 15.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 15, then carry on: 152 / 16

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 152 by 16, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1799.0
If we take 144 away from 152, we end up with 8.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 80 / 16

Going ahead to step 6:
16 goes into 80 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17995.0
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.

Step 7:
The number 16 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17995.0
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 17995.0
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 17995.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
