We're dividing 175873 by 12 
We want to divide 175873 by 12.

Step 1:
If we divide 1 by 12, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 12

Step 2:
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: 1.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 12 from 17.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 12

On to step 3:
The number 12 fits into 55 4 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 14.0
Subtracting 48 from 55 leaves us with 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 12

Step 4:
When dividing 78 by 12, we get 6 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 146.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 72 from 78.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 67 / 12

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: 1465.0
If we subtract 60 from 67, we get 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 12

On to step 6:
12 goes into 73 6 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 14656.0
If we subtract 72 from 73, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 12, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 14656.0
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.

Step 8:
100 divided by 12 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 14656.08
Subtract 96 from 100 to 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 9:
If we divide 40 by 12, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 14656.083
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.

Step 10:
When dividing 40 by 12, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 14656.0833
Subtract 36 from 40 to 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.

The quotient of the division is 14656.0833, and the remainder is 4e-05.
