Let's divide 144927 by 12
We're looking to find how many times 12 goes into 144927.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 12 fits into 1 0 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 12

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 14 by 12, we get 1 and a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 12 away from 14, we end up with 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 12

Advancing to step 3:
The number 12 fits into 24 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 24 from 24 leaves us with 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 12

On to step 4:
If we divide 9 by 12, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 120.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 92 / 12

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 92 by 12, we get 7 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1207.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 84 from 92.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 87 / 12

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 87 by 12, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12077.0
Deduct 84 from 87 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
30 divided by 12 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12077.2
Subtract 24 from 30 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 12, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 12077.25
If we take 60 away from 60, 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 9:
12 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12077.25
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.

On to step 10:
12 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12077.25
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.

After the division, we end up with 12077.25 and a remainder of 0.0.
