282973 divided by 12 
The aim is to understand the frequency of 12 in 282973.

Step 1:
12 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 12

Step 2:
If we divide 28 by 12, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 24 from 28 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 42 / 12

Step 3:
12 goes into 42 3 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 36 from 42 and we're left with 6.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 69 / 12

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 69 by 12, we get 5 and a remainder of 9.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 235.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 60 from 69.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 12

Let's proceed to step 5:
97 divided by 12 is 8 with a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2358.0
If we subtract 96 from 97, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 13 / 12

Going ahead to step 6:
12 goes into 13 1 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23581.0
If we take 12 away from 13, we end up 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.

Moving on to step 7:
The number 12 fits into 10 0 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 23581.0
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.

Step 8:
100 divided by 12 is 8 with a remainder of 4.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23581.08
Subtract 96 from 100 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.

Step 9:
40 divided by 12 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23581.083
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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 40 by 12, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23581.0833
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.

Our division results in 23581.0833 with a remaining 4e-05.
