We look at the division of 997882 by 12 
We want to figure out the number of times 997882 can be divided by 12.

Advancing to step 1:
12 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 12

Advancing to step 2:
12 goes into 99 8 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 96 from 99, we get 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 12

Step 3:
When dividing 37 by 12, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 83.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 36 from 37.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 12

Advancing to step 4:
The number 12 fits into 18 1 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 831.0
Deduct 12 from 18 and we're left with 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 12

On to step 5:
The number 12 fits into 68 5 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8315.0
Subtract 60 from 68 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 82 / 12

Step 6:
If we divide 82 by 12, we get 6 and a remainder of 10.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 83156.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 72 from 82.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
12 can be fit into 100 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 83156.8
If we take 96 away from 100, we end up 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 40 by 12, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 83156.83
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.

Step 9:
40 divided by 12 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 83156.833
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.

The quotient of the division is 83156.833, and the remainder is 0.0004.
