We divide 252469 by 12
The aim is to understand the frequency of 12 in 252469.

Let's proceed to step 1:
2 divided by 12 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 25 / 12

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 25 by 12, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 24 from 25 leaves us with 1.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 12 / 12

Step 3:
12 divided by 12 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 21.0
Subtracting 12 from 12 leaves us with 0.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 4 / 12

Advancing to step 4:
4 divided by 12 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 210.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 12

Step 5:
If we divide 46 by 12, we get 3 and a remainder of 10.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2103.0
Subtract 36 from 46 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 109 / 12

Let's proceed to step 6:
109 divided by 12 is 9 with a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21039.0
Subtract 108 from 109 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
12 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 21039.0
Deduct 0 from 10 and we're left 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.

Step 8:
If we divide 100 by 12, we get 8 and a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 21039.08
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 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: 21039.083
Subtract 36 from 40 to get 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 goes into 40 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 21039.0833
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.

After the division, we end up with 21039.0833 and a remainder of 4e-05.
