Let's divide 284497 by 12
We want to divide 284497 by 12.

Going ahead to step 1:
12 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 12

Let's proceed to step 2:
28 divided by 12 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 24 from 28 leaves us with 4.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 44 / 12

On to step 3:
12 goes into 44 3 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtracting 36 from 44 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 84 / 12

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 12 fits into 84 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 237.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 84 from 84.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 12

Advancing to step 5:
12 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2370.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 9 and repeat the process: 97 / 12

Moving on to step 6:
12 can be fit into 97 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23708.0
Subtracting 96 from 97 leaves us with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 12, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23708.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 12 fits into 100 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23708.08
Deduct 96 from 100 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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 12 fits into 40 3 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23708.083
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
12 can be fit into 40 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23708.0833
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.

The final outcome is 23708.0833, with a leftover of 4e-05.
