We're dividing 55762 by 12 
We want to divide 55762 by 12.

On to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 12, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 12

Moving on to step 2:
55 divided by 12 is 4 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 48 away from 55, we end up with 7.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 77 / 12

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 12 fits into 77 6 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 46.0
If we take 72 away from 77, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 56 / 12

Let's proceed to step 4:
56 divided by 12 is 4 with a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 464.0
If we take 48 away from 56, we end up with 8.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 82 / 12

On to step 5:
If we divide 82 by 12, we get 6 and a remainder of 10.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4646.0
Deduct 72 from 82 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 6:
12 goes into 100 8 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4646.8
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 7:
12 goes into 40 3 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 4646.83
If we take 36 away from 40, we end up 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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 12, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4646.833
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.

Our division results in 4646.833 with a remaining 0.0004.
