Let's divide 972781 by 12
We want to divide 972781 by 12.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 12, we get 0 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 12

Let's proceed to step 2:
12 goes into 97 8 times with a remainder of 1.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 96 from 97, we get 1.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 12 / 12

Moving on to step 3:
If we divide 12 by 12, we get 1 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 81.0
If we subtract 12 from 12, we get 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 12

Moving on to step 4:
12 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 810.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 12

Moving on to step 5:
12 goes into 78 6 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8106.0
Subtracting 72 from 78 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 61 / 12

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 12 fits into 61 5 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 81065.0
Subtract 60 from 61 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 10 by 12, we get 0 and a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 81065.0
Subtracting 0 from 10 leaves us 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.

Going ahead to 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: 81065.08
Deduct 96 from 100 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.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 40 by 12, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 81065.083
If we subtract 36 from 40, we 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.

Moving on to step 10:
12 goes into 40 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 81065.0833
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 81065.0833 with a balance of 4e-05.
