We divide 455659 by 12
We want to divide 455659 by 12.

Step 1:
4 divided by 12 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 45 / 12

Let's proceed to step 2:
When dividing 45 by 12, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 36 from 45 leaves us with 9.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 95 / 12

Step 3:
The number 12 fits into 95 7 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Deduct 84 from 95 and we're left with 11.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 116 / 12

On to step 4:
12 goes into 116 9 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 379.0
Deduct 108 from 116 and we're left with 8.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 85 / 12

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 85 by 12, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3797.0
If we subtract 84 from 85, we get 1.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 12

Going ahead to step 6:
12 can be fit into 19 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 37971.0
Subtracting 12 from 19 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 7:
12 can be fit into 70 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37971.5
Subtracting 60 from 70 leaves us with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
When dividing 100 by 12, we get 8 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37971.58
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.

On to step 9:
12 goes into 40 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 37971.583
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 36 from 40.
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:
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: 37971.5833
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.

Our division results in 37971.5833 with a remaining 4e-05.
