971959 ÷ 12 
We want to divide 971959 by 12.

Going ahead to step 1:
12 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 97 / 12

Advancing to step 2:
The number 12 fits into 97 8 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we take 96 away from 97, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 12

Advancing to step 3:
11 divided by 12 is 0 with a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 80.0
Deduct 0 from 11 and we're left with 11.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 119 / 12

Moving on to step 4:
12 goes into 119 9 times with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 809.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 108 from 119.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 115 / 12

Step 5:
When dividing 115 by 12, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8099.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 108 from 115.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 79 / 12

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 79 by 12, we get 6 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 80996.0
If we take 72 away from 79, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
70 divided by 12 is 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 80996.5
If we take 60 away from 70, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 12 fits into 100 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 80996.58
Subtracting 96 from 100 leaves us 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:
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: 80996.583
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
12 goes into 40 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 80996.5833
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.

The quotient of the division is 80996.5833, and the remainder is 4e-05.
