We're dividing 461968 by 12 
We're looking to find how many times 12 goes into 461968.

Step 1:
12 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 46 / 12

Step 2:
If we divide 46 by 12, we get 3 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 36 from 46 leaves us with 10.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 10 and repeat the process: 101 / 12

Advancing to step 3:
The number 12 fits into 101 8 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 38.0
Subtract 96 from 101 to get 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 12

On to step 4:
If we divide 59 by 12, we get 4 and a remainder of 11.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 384.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 48 from 59.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 116 / 12

Let's proceed to step 5:
12 goes into 116 9 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3849.0
Subtracting 108 from 116 leaves us with 8.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 88 / 12

Advancing to step 6:
12 can be fit into 88 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 38497.0
If we subtract 84 from 88, 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:
If we divide 40 by 12, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38497.3
If we take 36 away from 40, we end up 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.

Moving on 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: 38497.33
Subtracting 36 from 40 leaves us 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 38497.33 with a remaining 0.004.
