Let's divide 531977 by 12
We want to divide 531977 by 12.

Let's proceed to step 1:
5 divided by 12 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 53 / 12

On to step 2:
53 divided by 12 is 4 with a remainder of 5.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 48 away from 53, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 51 / 12

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 51 by 12, we get 4 and a remainder of 3.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 44.0
Deduct 48 from 51 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 12

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 12 fits into 39 3 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 443.0
Deduct 36 from 39 and we're left with 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 12

Advancing to step 5:
If we divide 37 by 12, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4433.0
If we take 36 away from 37, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 12

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 17 by 12, we get 1 with a remainder of 5.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 44331.0
If we subtract 12 from 17, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
12 goes into 50 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 44331.4
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 48 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
12 goes into 20 1 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 44331.41
Deduct 12 from 20 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 9:
80 divided by 12 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 44331.416
Deduct 72 from 80 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 80 by 12, we get 6 with a remainder of 8.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 44331.4166
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.

The quotient of the division is 44331.4166, and the remainder is 8e-05.
