Let's divide 288724 by 12
We want to divide 288724 by 12.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 12 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 28 / 12

Step 2:
If we divide 28 by 12, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 24 from 28 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 48 / 12

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 48 by 12, we get 4 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 24.0
If we subtract 48 from 48, we get 0.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 7 / 12

Going ahead to step 4:
12 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 240.0
Deduct 0 from 7 and we're left with 7.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 72 / 12

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 72 by 12, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2406.0
Subtract 72 from 72 to get 0.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 4 / 12

Moving on to step 6:
12 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 24060.0
Deduct 0 from 4 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
40 divided by 12 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24060.3
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.

On to step 8:
40 divided by 12 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 24060.33
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 24060.33 with a balance of 0.004.
