278860 ÷ 16 
Let's see how many times 16 fits into 278860.

Let's proceed to step 1:
16 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 16

Advancing to step 2:
27 divided by 16 is 1 with a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 16 from 27 to get 11.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 118 / 16

Going ahead to step 3:
118 divided by 16 is 7 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Subtract 112 from 118 to get 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 16

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 68 by 16, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtract 64 from 68 to get 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 16

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 46 by 16, we get 2 with a remainder of 14.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1742.0
The remainder is 14 after subtracting 32 from 46.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 14, then carry on: 140 / 16

Advancing to step 6:
16 can be fit into 140 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17428.0
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.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 120 by 16, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17428.7
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 112 from 120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
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: 17428.75
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.

On to step 9:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17428.75
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.

Going ahead to 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: 17428.75
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.

The quotient of the division is 17428.75, and the remainder is 0.0.
