We look at the division of 231282 by 12 
We want to divide 231282 by 12.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 12 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 12

Step 2:
When dividing 23 by 12, we get 1 with a remainder of 11.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 12 from 23 to get 11.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 11 and repeat the process: 111 / 12

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 111 by 12, we get 9 and a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 108 from 111.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 32 / 12

On to step 4:
32 divided by 12 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 192.0
Subtract 24 from 32 to get 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 12

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 88 by 12, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1927.0
Subtracting 84 from 88 leaves us with 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 12

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 42 by 12, we get 3 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 19273.0
If we take 36 away from 42, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
12 goes into 60 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19273.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 60 from 60.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
If we divide 0 by 12, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 19273.5
If we subtract 0 from 0, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
0 divided by 12 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19273.5
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 19273.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
