We divide 311657 by 12
Our goal is to divide 311657 by 12.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 divided by 12 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 12

Step 2:
12 can be fit into 31 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 24 from 31, we get 7.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 71 / 12

On to step 3:
The number 12 fits into 71 5 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25.0
If we subtract 60 from 71, we get 11.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 116 / 12

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 116 by 12, we get 9 with a remainder of 8.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 259.0
Subtract 108 from 116 to get 8.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 85 / 12

Moving on to step 5:
85 divided by 12 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2597.0
Subtract 84 from 85 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 12

Advancing to step 6:
12 can be fit into 17 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 25971.0
If we subtract 12 from 17, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 12, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25971.4
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 48 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
20 divided by 12 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 25971.41
Subtract 12 from 20 to get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 9:
12 can be fit into 80 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 25971.416
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 12 fits into 80 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 25971.4166
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 72 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

The final result is 25971.4166 with a remainder of 8e-05.
