We divide 562972 by 12
Our goal is to divide 562972 by 12.

Step 1:
When dividing 5 by 12, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 5 and we're left with 5.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 56 / 12

On to step 2:
12 goes into 56 4 times with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 48 from 56 to get 8.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 82 / 12

On to step 3:
The number 12 fits into 82 6 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 46.0
Subtracting 72 from 82 leaves us with 10.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 109 / 12

On to step 4:
12 goes into 109 9 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 469.0
Subtract 108 from 109 to get 1.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 12

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 17 by 12, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4691.0
Subtract 12 from 17 to get 5.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 52 / 12

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 52 by 12, we get 4 with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 46914.0
Subtract 48 from 52 to 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.

Step 7:
40 divided by 12 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 46914.3
Deduct 36 from 40 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 8:
If we divide 40 by 12, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 46914.33
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.

The final outcome is 46914.33, with a leftover of 0.004.
