We divide 214729 by 12
We're looking to find how many times 12 goes into 214729.

Advancing to step 1:
12 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 21 / 12

Advancing to step 2:
12 can be fit into 21 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 12 from 21 to get 9.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 94 / 12

Moving on to step 3:
12 can be fit into 94 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17.0
Deduct 84 from 94 and we're left with 10.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 107 / 12

Going ahead to step 4:
12 goes into 107 8 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 178.0
If we subtract 96 from 107, we get 11.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 112 / 12

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 12 fits into 112 9 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1789.0
Deduct 108 from 112 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 12

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 49 by 12, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 17894.0
If we take 48 away from 49, 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 12, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 17894.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 12, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 17894.08
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.

On to step 9:
40 divided by 12 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 17894.083
Subtracting 36 from 40 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 10:
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: 17894.0833
Subtracting 36 from 40 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.

The final result is 17894.0833 with a remainder of 4e-05.
