We divide 484979 by 12
Our goal is to divide 484979 by 12.

Moving on to step 1:
12 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 48 / 12

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 12 fits into 48 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 48 from 48, we get 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 12

Advancing to step 3:
12 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 12

Step 4:
If we divide 49 by 12, we get 4 and a remainder of 1.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 404.0
If we subtract 48 from 49, we get 1.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 12

Advancing to step 5:
The number 12 fits into 17 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4041.0
Subtract 12 from 17 to get 5.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 59 / 12

Step 6:
59 divided by 12 is 4 with a remainder of 11.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40414.0
Subtracting 48 from 59 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 12 fits into 110 9 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40414.9
If we take 108 away from 110, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
12 goes into 20 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 40414.91
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 12 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
12 can be fit into 80 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40414.916
Subtract 72 from 80 to 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 12, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40414.9166
Subtract 72 from 80 to 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.

Our division results in 40414.9166 with a remaining 8e-05.
