We divide 493042 by 16
The aim is to understand the frequency of 16 in 493042.

Step 1:
4 divided by 16 is 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.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 16

On to step 2:
16 goes into 49 3 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 48 from 49 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 13 / 16

Step 3:
13 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Deduct 0 from 13 and we're left with 13.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 13 and continue: 130 / 16

Advancing to step 4:
16 goes into 130 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 308.0
If we take 128 away from 130, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 16

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 24 by 16, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3081.0
If we subtract 16 from 24, we get 8.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 82 / 16

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 16 fits into 82 5 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30815.0
If we take 80 away from 82, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 20 by 16, we get 1 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30815.1
Subtract 16 from 20 to get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 16, we get 2 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 30815.12
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 32 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
16 goes into 80 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30815.125
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
16 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30815.125
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.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 0 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30815.125
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 result is 30815.125 with a remainder of 0.0.
