We look at the division of 17474 by 12 
We want to divide 17474 by 12.

On to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 12, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 12

Step 2:
12 goes into 17 1 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 12 from 17 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 12

Step 3:
12 can be fit into 54 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
If we take 48 away from 54, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 67 / 12

Step 4:
The number 12 fits into 67 5 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 145.0
Subtract 60 from 67 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 12

Going ahead to step 5:
12 goes into 74 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1456.0
If we subtract 72 from 74, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
If we divide 20 by 12, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1456.1
Subtracting 12 from 20 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 12 fits into 80 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 1456.16
Subtract 72 from 80 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
12 goes into 80 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1456.166
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 1456.166 and a remainder of 0.0008.
