Let's divide 492889 by 12
Our goal is to divide 492889 by 12.

Moving on to step 1:
When dividing 4 by 12, we get 0 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 12

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 12 fits into 49 4 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
Deduct 48 from 49 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 12 / 12

Going ahead to step 3:
12 divided by 12 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41.0
If we take 12 away from 12, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 8 / 12

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 8 by 12, we get 0 with a remainder of 8.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 410.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 88 / 12

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 88 by 12, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4107.0
If we subtract 84 from 88, we get 4.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 12

Step 6:
12 goes into 49 4 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 41074.0
Subtract 48 from 49 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.

Step 7:
12 goes into 10 0 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 41074.0
If we subtract 0 from 10, 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.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 41074.08
If we take 96 away from 100, 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 9:
If we divide 40 by 12, we get 3 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 41074.083
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
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: 41074.0833
Subtract 36 from 40 to 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.

The final result is 41074.0833 with a remainder of 4e-05.
