470140 divided by 12 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 12 in 470140.

On to step 1:
4 divided by 12 is 0 with 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

Step 2:
12 goes into 47 3 times with a remainder of 11.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 36 from 47 leaves us with 11.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 110 / 12

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 12 fits into 110 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 39.0
Subtract 108 from 110 to get 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 12

Advancing to step 4:
21 divided by 12 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 391.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 12 from 21.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 94 / 12

On to step 5:
When dividing 94 by 12, we get 7 with a remainder of 10.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3917.0
If we take 84 away from 94, we end up with 10.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 100 / 12

On to step 6:
If we divide 100 by 12, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 39178.0
If we subtract 96 from 100, 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 7:
The number 12 fits into 40 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39178.3
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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 12 fits into 40 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 39178.33
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 39178.33, and the remainder is 0.004.
