We look at the division of 171957 by 12 
Our goal is to divide 171957 by 12.

Going ahead to step 1:
12 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 12

Let's proceed to step 2:
17 divided by 12 is 1 with a remainder of 5.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 12 from 17 to get 5.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 51 / 12

Step 3:
The number 12 fits into 51 4 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtract 48 from 51 to get 3.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 12

On to step 4:
12 goes into 39 3 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 143.0
If we take 36 away from 39, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 35 / 12

Step 5:
When dividing 35 by 12, we get 2 with a remainder of 11.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1432.0
Subtracting 24 from 35 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 117 / 12

On to step 6:
The number 12 fits into 117 9 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14329.0
If we subtract 108 from 117, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 12 fits into 90 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14329.7
If we subtract 84 from 90, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
12 can be fit into 60 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14329.75
If we take 60 away from 60, 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.

Advancing to step 9:
0 divided by 12 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 14329.75
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 10:
12 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: 14329.75
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 14329.75 with a balance of 0.0.
