977946 divided by 12 
We're looking to find how many times 12 goes into 977946.

Step 1:
When dividing 9 by 12, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 12

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 12 fits into 97 8 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 96 from 97, we get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 12

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 17 by 12, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 81.0
Subtract 12 from 17 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 59 / 12

On to step 4:
12 goes into 59 4 times with a remainder of 11.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 814.0
Subtracting 48 from 59 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 114 / 12

Advancing to step 5:
12 goes into 114 9 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8149.0
Subtracting 108 from 114 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 66 / 12

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 12 fits into 66 5 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 81495.0
If we subtract 60 from 66, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 60 by 12, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 81495.5
Subtract 60 from 60 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 12, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 81495.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
12 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 81495.5
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 81495.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
