279340 ÷ 16 
Our goal is to divide 279340 by 16.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 16, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 27 / 16

Step 2:
The number 16 fits into 27 1 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 16 from 27.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 119 / 16

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 119 by 16, we get 7 with a remainder of 7.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 112 from 119 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 16

On to step 4:
When dividing 73 by 16, we get 4 with a remainder of 9.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 174.0
Subtract 64 from 73 to get 9.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 94 / 16

Advancing to step 5:
16 goes into 94 5 times with a remainder of 14.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1745.0
If we subtract 80 from 94, we get 14.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 14 and continue: 140 / 16

Advancing to step 6:
16 can be fit into 140 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 17458.0
Subtracting 128 from 140 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Step 7:
16 can be fit into 120 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17458.7
Subtracting 112 from 120 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 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: 17458.75
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.

Moving on to step 9:
16 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17458.75
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.

Step 10:
The number 16 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17458.75
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.

The final outcome is 17458.75, with a leftover of 0.0.
