We divide 487233 by 12
We're looking to find how many times 12 goes into 487233.

On to step 1:
The number 12 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 12

Going ahead to step 2:
48 divided by 12 is 4 with a remainder of 0.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 48 away from 48, we end up with 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 12

On to step 3:
12 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 12

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 12 fits into 72 6 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 406.0
If we take 72 away from 72, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 3 / 12

Step 5:
12 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4060.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 33 / 12

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 33 by 12, we get 2 with a remainder of 9.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40602.0
If we take 24 away from 33, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
12 can be fit into 90 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40602.7
If we subtract 84 from 90, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
12 goes into 60 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 40602.75
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 60 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
12 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40602.75
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 10:
12 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 40602.75
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 40602.75, and the remainder is 0.0.
