We look at the division of 482731 by 12 
We want to figure out the number of times 482731 can be divided by 12.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 12 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 48 / 12

Moving on to step 2:
The number 12 fits into 48 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 48 from 48.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 2 / 12

On to step 3:
12 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40.0
If we subtract 0 from 2, we get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 12

Advancing to step 4:
The number 12 fits into 27 2 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 402.0
If we take 24 away from 27, we end up with 3.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 33 / 12

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 33 by 12, we get 2 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4022.0
If we take 24 away from 33, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 91 / 12

Advancing to step 6:
12 goes into 91 7 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40227.0
Subtracting 84 from 91 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 12 fits into 70 5 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40227.5
If we subtract 60 from 70, we 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.

On to step 8:
The number 12 fits into 100 8 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 40227.58
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 12, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 40227.583
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 36 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Step 10:
When dividing 40 by 12, we get 3 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40227.5833
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.

The final result is 40227.5833 with a remainder of 4e-05.
