Let's divide 678740 by 12
We want to figure out the number of times 678740 can be divided by 12.

Step 1:
12 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 67 / 12

Advancing to step 2:
The number 12 fits into 67 5 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 60 from 67.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 12

Advancing to step 3:
12 goes into 78 6 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56.0
Deduct 72 from 78 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 67 / 12

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 67 by 12, we get 5 and a remainder of 7.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 565.0
If we subtract 60 from 67, we get 7.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 74 / 12

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 74 by 12, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5656.0
If we take 72 away from 74, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 12

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 20 by 12, we get 1 and a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 56561.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 12 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
12 goes into 80 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 56561.6
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 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 8:
The number 12 fits into 80 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 56561.66
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 56561.66 with a balance of 0.008.
