285801 divided by 12 
We're looking to find how many times 12 goes into 285801.

Let's proceed to step 1:
12 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 12

Step 2:
12 can be fit into 28 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 24 from 28 to get 4.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 45 / 12

Moving on to step 3:
12 goes into 45 3 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we subtract 36 from 45, we get 9.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 98 / 12

Let's proceed to step 4:
If we divide 98 by 12, we get 8 and a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 238.0
Subtracting 96 from 98 leaves us with 2.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 20 / 12

Let's proceed to step 5:
12 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2381.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 12 from 20.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 81 / 12

Step 6:
12 can be fit into 81 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 23816.0
Subtracting 72 from 81 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 90 by 12, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 23816.7
Subtract 84 from 90 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
12 goes into 60 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23816.75
Subtracting 60 from 60 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 9:
12 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 23816.75
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
The number 12 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 23816.75
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 23816.75 and a remainder of 0.0.
