Let's divide 523387 by 12
We want to divide 523387 by 12.

Let's proceed to step 1:
12 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 52 / 12

Moving on to step 2:
12 can be fit into 52 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 48 from 52, we get 4.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 43 / 12

Step 3:
12 goes into 43 3 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 43.0
Subtract 36 from 43 to get 7.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 73 / 12

Advancing to step 4:
12 goes into 73 6 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 436.0
Subtracting 72 from 73 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 12

Advancing to step 5:
18 divided by 12 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4361.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 12 from 18.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 67 / 12

Step 6:
67 divided by 12 is 5 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43615.0
Subtracting 60 from 67 leaves us 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:
When dividing 70 by 12, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43615.5
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 60 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 100 by 12, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 43615.58
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
12 can be fit into 40 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 43615.583
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 12, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 43615.5833
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 43615.5833 with a remainder of 4e-05.
