Let's divide 271488 by 12
We want to figure out the number of times 271488 can be divided by 12.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 12, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 12

Step 2:
12 can be fit into 27 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 24 from 27 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 12

Step 3:
The number 12 fits into 31 2 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 24 from 31 to get 7.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 74 / 12

Going ahead to step 4:
74 divided by 12 is 6 with a remainder of 2.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 226.0
Subtracting 72 from 74 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 12

Step 5:
28 divided by 12 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2262.0
Subtracting 24 from 28 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 12

Let's proceed to step 6:
12 can be fit into 48 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22624.0
Deduct 48 from 48 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.

On to step 7:
The number 12 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22624.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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.

Step 8:
0 divided by 12 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22624.0
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 22624.0 with a balance of 0.0.
