We divide 5044 by 12
We want to figure out the number of times 5044 can be divided by 12.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 12, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 12

Advancing to step 2:
12 goes into 50 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 48 from 50 to get 2.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 24 / 12

Advancing to step 3:
The number 12 fits into 24 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
Subtract 24 from 24 to get 0.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 4 / 12

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 12 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 420.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 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 5:
If we divide 40 by 12, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 420.3
If we take 36 away from 40, we end up 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 6:
40 divided by 12 is 3 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 420.33
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.

After the division, we end up with 420.33 and a remainder of 0.004.
