To perform division in hexadecimal, we follow the same rules as in decimal division. We divide the first digit(s) of the dividend (in this case, 11ec1e8e) by the divisor (in this case, 2). Since 2 goes into 11 (the first two hexadecimal digits) 5 times with a remainder of 1, we write down 5 as the first digit of the quotient. We then bring down the next digit (in this case, e), giving us a new dividend of 1eec1e8e. We repeat the process, dividing 1e by 2, which gives us a quotient of f with a remainder of 0. We continue in this way, bringing down each digit and performing division until we have a final quotient of 11ec1e8e_2c03_0f57_be9b_8d265b83368d.
