We're dividing 473678 by 12 
We want to divide 473678 by 12.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 12 fits into 4 0 times, leaving 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.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 12

On to step 2:
12 can be fit into 47 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 36 from 47 to get 11.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 113 / 12

Going ahead to step 3:
The number 12 fits into 113 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 108 from 113.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 56 / 12

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 56 by 12, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 394.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 48 from 56.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 87 / 12

Step 5:
The number 12 fits into 87 7 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 3947.0
Subtracting 84 from 87 leaves us with 3.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 38 / 12

On to step 6:
When dividing 38 by 12, we get 3 with a remainder of 2.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39473.0
Subtracting 36 from 38 leaves us with 2.
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.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 39473.1
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 12 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
80 divided by 12 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 39473.16
Subtracting 72 from 80 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 80 by 12, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 39473.166
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.

After the division, we end up with 39473.166 and a remainder of 0.0008.
