We look at the division of 471589 by 12 
We want to figure out the number of times 471589 can be divided by 12.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 12, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 12

Step 2:
12 can be fit into 47 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 36 from 47 to get 11.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 111 / 12

Moving on to step 3:
The number 12 fits into 111 9 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39.0
If we take 108 away from 111, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 35 / 12

On to step 4:
12 can be fit into 35 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 392.0
Deduct 24 from 35 and we're left with 11.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 118 / 12

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 118 by 12, we get 9 and a remainder of 10.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3929.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 108 from 118.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 109 / 12

Going ahead to step 6:
12 goes into 109 9 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39299.0
Subtracting 108 from 109 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
12 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 39299.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
12 can be fit into 100 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39299.08
Subtract 96 from 100 to 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.

Step 9:
12 goes into 40 3 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39299.083
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.

On to step 10:
12 can be fit into 40 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39299.0833
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.

After the division, we end up with 39299.0833 and a remainder of 4e-05.
