12311379 ÷ 475 
Our goal is to divide 12311379 by 475.

On to step 1:
475 goes into 1 0 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 1 and we're left with 1.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 12 / 475

Step 2:
12 divided by 475 is 0 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 12, we end up with 12.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 12, then repeat: 123 / 475

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 123 by 475, we get 0 and a remainder of 123.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 123 to get 123.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 123, then repeat: 1231 / 475

On to step 4:
If we divide 1231 by 475, we get 2 and a remainder of 281.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 950 from 1231 and we're left with 281.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 281, then carry on: 2811 / 475

Let's proceed to step 5:
The number 475 fits into 2811 5 times, leaving a remainder of 436.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25.0
Deduct 2375 from 2811 and we're left with 436.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 436, then carry on: 4363 / 475

Step 6:
If we divide 4363 by 475, we get 9 and a remainder of 88.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 259.0
If we take 4275 away from 4363, we end up with 88.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 88 and continue: 887 / 475

Going ahead to step 7:
The number 475 fits into 887 1 times, leaving a remainder of 412.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2591.0
If we subtract 475 from 887, we get 412.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 412 and repeat the process: 4129 / 475

On to step 8:
475 goes into 4129 8 times with a remainder of 329.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 25918.0
Subtract 3800 from 4129 to get 329.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3290, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 3290 by 475, we get 6 and a remainder of 440.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25918.6
The remainder is 440 after subtracting 2850 from 3290.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4400, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 475 fits into 4400 9 times, leaving a remainder of 125.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25918.69
Subtracting 4275 from 4400 leaves us with 125.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1250, and continue the process.

Step 11:
475 can be fit into 1250 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 300.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25918.692
Subtracting 950 from 1250 leaves us with 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3000, and continue the process.

Step 12:
475 can be fit into 3000 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 150.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25918.6926
Subtract 2850 from 3000 to get 150.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1500, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 13:
When dividing 1500 by 475, we get 3 with a remainder of 75.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25918.69263
Subtract 1425 from 1500 to get 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
750 divided by 475 is 1 with a remainder of 275.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25918.692631
Deduct 475 from 750 and we're left with 275.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 2750, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 15:
475 can be fit into 2750 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 375.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25918.6926315
Subtract 2375 from 2750 to get 375.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 3750, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
475 goes into 3750 7 times with a remainder of 425.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25918.69263157
Subtract 3325 from 3750 to get 425.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 4250, and continue the process.

Our division results in 25918.69263157 with a remaining 4.25e-07.
