Let's divide 424996 by 12
The aim is to understand the frequency of 12 in 424996.

Advancing to step 1:
12 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 12

On to step 2:
12 can be fit into 42 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 36 from 42 to get 6.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 64 / 12

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 64 by 12, we get 5 with a remainder of 4.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 35.0
Deduct 60 from 64 and we're left with 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 12

On to step 4:
When dividing 49 by 12, we get 4 with a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 354.0
If we subtract 48 from 49, we get 1.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 19 / 12

On to step 5:
12 can be fit into 19 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3541.0
Subtracting 12 from 19 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 76 / 12

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 76 by 12, we get 6 and a remainder of 4.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 35416.0
Subtract 72 from 76 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 12 fits into 40 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 35416.3
Deduct 36 from 40 and we're left with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 12 fits into 40 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 35416.33
Subtract 36 from 40 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.

Our division results in 35416.33 with a remaining 0.004.
