How do you divide FFE/AC?
(Note: These are hexidecimals)
Just do hex long division, as at

However, it is sometimes easier to convert to decimal, divide, and convert back.
To divide the two hexadecimal numbers FFE and AC, we can follow the steps below:
Step 1: Convert the hexadecimal numbers into decimal numbers.
The decimal equivalent for FFE is 4094.
The decimal equivalent for AC is 172.
Step 2: Divide the decimal numbers.
Now, we can divide 4094 by 172 using long division:
```
23
___________
172 | 4094
```
Start by dividing the leftmost digit (4) by the divisor (172). The result is 2, so write down 2 above the line.
Multiply this result (2) by the divisor (172) and write the product (344) below the line.
```
23
___________
172 | 4 0 9 4
3 4 4
```
Subtract the product (344) from the current dividend (409) to get the remainder.
```
23
___________
172 | 4 0 9 4
3 4 4
___________
6 5 0
```
Bring down the next digit (5) and continue dividing:
```
23
___________
172 | 4 0 9 4
3 4 4
___________
6 5 0
5 1 6
```
Divide the new dividend (651) by the divisor (172) and write the result (3) above the line.
Multiply this result (3) by the divisor (172) and write the product (516) below the line.
```
23 3
_________________
172 | 4 0 9 4
3 4 4
___________
6 5 0
5 1 6
_________________
1 5 8
```
Subtract the product (516) from the current dividend (651) to get the remainder.
Step 3: Convert the decimal quotient back to hexadecimal.
The decimal quotient we obtained from the division is 23. Converting it back to hexadecimal, we get 17.
Therefore, FFE divided by AC equals 17.
Note: The division process involved converting the hexadecimal numbers to decimal for easier calculation.
