Let's divide 989473 by 12
We want to figure out the number of times 989473 can be divided by 12.

Advancing to step 1:
12 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 98 / 12

On to step 2:
12 goes into 98 8 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
Deduct 96 from 98 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 12

On to step 3:
When dividing 29 by 12, we get 2 with a remainder of 5.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 82.0
Subtract 24 from 29 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 12

Step 4:
If we divide 54 by 12, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 824.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 48 from 54.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 67 / 12

Advancing to step 5:
The number 12 fits into 67 5 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 8245.0
Subtract 60 from 67 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 73 / 12

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 12 fits into 73 6 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 82456.0
If we take 72 away from 73, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
10 divided by 12 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 82456.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 0 from 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
12 can be fit into 100 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 82456.08
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 12 fits into 40 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 82456.083
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 36 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
12 can be fit into 40 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 82456.0833
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 36 from 40.
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 82456.0833 with a remainder of 4e-05.
