We divide 276996 by 16
Our goal is to divide 276996 by 16.

Step 1:
When dividing 2 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
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

Going ahead to step 2:
16 can be fit into 27 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 16 from 27, we get 11.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 116 / 16

On to step 3:
16 can be fit into 116 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
If we subtract 112 from 116, we get 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 16

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 49 by 16, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 173.0
Subtracting 48 from 49 leaves us with 1.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 16

Moving on to step 5:
16 can be fit into 19 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1731.0
Subtract 16 from 19 to get 3.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 36 / 16

On to step 6:
When dividing 36 by 16, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 17312.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 32 from 36.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 16 fits into 40 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17312.2
If we subtract 32 from 40, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 8:
16 can be fit into 80 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 17312.25
If we subtract 80 from 80, 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 16, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17312.25
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.

On to step 10:
16 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17312.25
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.

The final result is 17312.25 with a remainder of 0.0.
