Let's divide 264985 by 12
We're looking to find how many times 12 goes into 264985.

Going ahead to step 1:
12 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 0 from 2.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 26 / 12

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 26 by 12, we get 2 and a remainder of 2.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 24 from 26 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 12

Going ahead to step 3:
12 goes into 24 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22.0
Deduct 24 from 24 and we're left with 0.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 9 / 12

Going ahead to step 4:
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: 220.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 12

Advancing to step 5:
12 can be fit into 98 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2208.0
If we take 96 away from 98, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 25 / 12

Advancing to step 6:
12 goes into 25 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22082.0
Subtract 24 from 25 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 12, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 22082.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 12, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 22082.08
Deduct 96 from 100 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.

Advancing to step 9:
40 divided by 12 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22082.083
If we subtract 36 from 40, we 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.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 12 fits into 40 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22082.0833
If we subtract 36 from 40, we 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 final result is 22082.0833 with a remainder of 4e-05.
