We look at the division of 384973 by 12 
Our goal is to divide 384973 by 12.

Going ahead to step 1:
12 can be fit into 3 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 12

Step 2:
12 goes into 38 3 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
Deduct 36 from 38 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 12

Advancing to step 3:
12 goes into 24 2 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32.0
If we take 24 away from 24, we end up with 0.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 9 / 12

Step 4:
If we divide 9 by 12, we get 0 and a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 320.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 97 / 12

Moving on to step 5:
97 divided by 12 is 8 with a remainder of 1.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3208.0
Subtract 96 from 97 to get 1.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 13 / 12

Advancing 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: 32081.0
Subtracting 12 from 13 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
10 divided by 12 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32081.0
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 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.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32081.08
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
12 goes into 40 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32081.083
Deduct 36 from 40 and we're left 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 12, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32081.0833
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 32081.0833 with a balance of 4e-05.
