We look at the division of 495992 by 16 
We want to figure out the number of times 495992 can be divided by 16.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 16 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 49 / 16

Let's proceed to step 2:
16 goes into 49 3 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 48 from 49 to get 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 16

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 15 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 15.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtract 0 from 15 to get 15.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 159 / 16

On to step 4:
If we divide 159 by 16, we get 9 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 309.0
Subtract 144 from 159 to get 15.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 15, then repeat: 159 / 16

On to step 5:
If we divide 159 by 16, we get 9 and a remainder of 15.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3099.0
Deduct 144 from 159 and we're left with 15.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 15 and continue: 152 / 16

Step 6:
The number 16 fits into 152 9 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 30999.0
Subtracting 144 from 152 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
80 divided by 16 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 30999.5
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 16 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 30999.5
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 16 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30999.5
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 30999.5 with a remainder of 0.0.
