We look at the division of 472732 by 12 
We want to figure out the number of times 472732 can be divided by 12.

Let's proceed to step 1:
4 divided by 12 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 12

Going ahead to step 2:
47 divided by 12 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 36 away from 47, we end up with 11.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 112 / 12

Going ahead to step 3:
112 divided by 12 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39.0
If we take 108 away from 112, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 47 / 12

Step 4:
47 divided by 12 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 393.0
Subtracting 36 from 47 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 113 / 12

On to step 5:
The number 12 fits into 113 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3939.0
Subtracting 108 from 113 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 52 / 12

Step 6:
The number 12 fits into 52 4 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39394.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 48 from 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
40 divided by 12 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39394.3
If we subtract 36 from 40, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 12 fits into 40 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39394.33
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 36 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Our division results in 39394.33 with a remaining 0.004.
