We divide 283975 by 12
We want to figure out the number of times 283975 can be divided by 12.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 12, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 12

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 28 by 12, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 24 away from 28, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 43 / 12

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 43 by 12, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23.0
Subtract 36 from 43 to get 7.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 79 / 12

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 79 by 12, we get 6 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 236.0
If we subtract 72 from 79, we get 7.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 77 / 12

On to step 5:
12 can be fit into 77 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2366.0
Deduct 72 from 77 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 55 / 12

Going ahead to step 6:
55 divided by 12 is 4 with a remainder of 7.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23664.0
Subtract 48 from 55 to get 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 12, we get 5 with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 23664.5
If we subtract 60 from 70, we get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 100 by 12, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 23664.58
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 96 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
12 goes into 40 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23664.583
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 36 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
12 can be fit into 40 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23664.5833
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 23664.5833 with a balance of 4e-05.
