We look at the division of 479996 by 12 
We want to figure out the number of times 479996 can be divided by 12.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 12, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 47 / 12

Going ahead to step 2:
12 can be fit into 47 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 36 from 47.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 119 / 12

On to step 3:
119 divided by 12 is 9 with a remainder of 11.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 108 from 119.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 11, then repeat: 119 / 12

Going ahead to step 4:
119 divided by 12 is 9 with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 399.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 108 from 119.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 119 / 12

On to step 5:
When dividing 119 by 12, we get 9 with a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 3999.0
If we take 108 away from 119, we end up with 11.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 116 / 12

Advancing to step 6:
12 can be fit into 116 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 39999.0
Subtracting 108 from 116 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
When dividing 80 by 12, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 39999.6
Deduct 72 from 80 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.

Advancing to step 8:
12 can be fit into 80 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 39999.66
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 39999.66 with a balance of 0.008.
