We look at the division of 974204 by 12 
Let's see how many times 12 fits into 974204.

Step 1:
12 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 12

Moving on to step 2:
12 goes into 97 8 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 96 from 97.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 12

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 12 fits into 14 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 81.0
Subtracting 12 from 14 leaves us with 2.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 22 / 12

On to step 4:
22 divided by 12 is 1 with a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 811.0
If we take 12 away from 22, we end up with 10.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 10, then carry on: 100 / 12

Going ahead to step 5:
12 can be fit into 100 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8118.0
Deduct 96 from 100 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 44 / 12

On to step 6:
12 goes into 44 3 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 81183.0
Deduct 36 from 44 and we're left 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.

On to step 7:
12 can be fit into 80 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 81183.6
If we subtract 72 from 80, we get 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 8:
The number 12 fits into 80 6 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 81183.66
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.

The final result is 81183.66 with a remainder of 0.008.
