We look at the division of 476704 by 12 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 12 in 476704.

Going ahead to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 12, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 12

Let's proceed to step 2:
47 divided by 12 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 36 from 47 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 116 / 12

Advancing to step 3:
12 can be fit into 116 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtract 108 from 116 to get 8.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 12

Let's proceed to step 4:
12 can be fit into 87 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 397.0
Subtracting 84 from 87 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 30 / 12

On to step 5:
30 divided by 12 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3972.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 24 from 30.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 64 / 12

On to step 6:
If we divide 64 by 12, we get 5 and a remainder of 4.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 39725.0
If we subtract 60 from 64, 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.

On to step 7:
The number 12 fits into 40 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39725.3
Deduct 36 from 40 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 40 by 12, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 39725.33
Deduct 36 from 40 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.

The final result is 39725.33 with a remainder of 0.004.
