We divide 479742 by 16
Let's see how many times 16 fits into 479742.

Moving 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.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 16

On to step 2:
If we divide 47 by 16, we get 2 and a remainder of 15.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 32 from 47 to get 15.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 15 and continue with: 159 / 16

Step 3:
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: 29.0
If we take 144 away from 159, we end up with 15.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 157 / 16

Moving on to step 4:
16 goes into 157 9 times with a remainder of 13.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 299.0
The remainder is 13 after subtracting 144 from 157.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 13, then repeat: 134 / 16

On to step 5:
If we divide 134 by 16, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2998.0
If we take 128 away from 134, we end up with 6.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 62 / 16

Advancing to step 6:
16 goes into 62 3 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 29983.0
If we subtract 48 from 62, we get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

Step 7:
140 divided by 16 is 8 with a remainder of 12.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29983.8
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 120 by 16, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29983.87
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
16 can be fit into 80 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29983.875
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 10:
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: 29983.875
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.

Step 11:
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: 29983.875
Subtract 0 from 0 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.

After the division, we end up with 29983.875 and a remainder of 0.0.
