Let's divide 548938 by 12
We want to figure out the number of times 548938 can be divided by 12.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 12 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 12

Moving on to step 2:
12 goes into 54 4 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 48 from 54.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 68 / 12

Step 3:
When dividing 68 by 12, we get 5 with a remainder of 8.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 45.0
If we subtract 60 from 68, we get 8.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 89 / 12

Let's proceed to step 4:
12 can be fit into 89 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 457.0
If we take 84 away from 89, we end up with 5.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 53 / 12

Let's proceed to step 5:
12 goes into 53 4 times with a remainder of 5.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4574.0
Subtracting 48 from 53 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 58 / 12

Moving on to step 6:
12 goes into 58 4 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 45744.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 48 from 58.
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 7:
If we divide 100 by 12, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 45744.8
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 96 from 100.
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:
When dividing 40 by 12, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 45744.83
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 12, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 45744.833
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 45744.833 with a remaining 0.0004.
