152438 ÷ 12 
We want to divide 152438 by 12.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 12 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 12

On to step 2:
12 can be fit into 15 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 12 from 15.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 32 / 12

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 12 fits into 32 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 24 from 32, we get 8.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 84 / 12

On to step 4:
12 can be fit into 84 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 127.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 84 from 84.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 3 / 12

Let's proceed to step 5:
12 goes into 3 0 times with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1270.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 38 / 12

Step 6:
The number 12 fits into 38 3 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 12703.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 36 from 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
20 divided by 12 is 1 with a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12703.1
Deduct 12 from 20 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
12 goes into 80 6 times with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12703.16
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 72 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 9:
12 goes into 80 6 times with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12703.166
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 72 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12703.166 with a balance of 0.0008.
