We look at the division of 483461 by 12 
We want to figure out the number of times 483461 can be divided by 12.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 12, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 12

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 12 fits into 48 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtracting 48 from 48 leaves us with 0.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 3 / 12

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 3 by 12, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 34 / 12

Moving on to step 4:
12 goes into 34 2 times with a remainder of 10.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 402.0
Subtract 24 from 34 to get 10.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 10, then repeat: 106 / 12

Let's proceed to step 5:
106 divided by 12 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4028.0
If we take 96 away from 106, we end up with 10.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 10 and continue with: 101 / 12

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 101 by 12, we get 8 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40288.0
Deduct 96 from 101 and we're left with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 12, we get 4 and a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40288.4
If we subtract 48 from 50, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
12 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 40288.41
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.

Step 9:
If we divide 80 by 12, we get 6 and a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40288.416
Subtract 72 from 80 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
80 divided by 12 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40288.4166
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.

Our division results in 40288.4166 with a remaining 8e-05.
