12000 divided by 3 
We want to figure out the number of times 12000 can be divided by 3.

Moving on to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 3, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 3

Going ahead to step 2:
3 can be fit into 12 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 12 from 12 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 0 / 3

Going ahead to step 3:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 0 / 3

Moving on to step 4:
3 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 400.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 0 / 3

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 0 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4000.0
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
0 divided by 3 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4000.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 3, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4000.0
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 4000.0 with a remainder of 0.0.
