We look at the division of 495901 by 8 
We want to divide 495901 by 8.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 8 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 4 leaves us with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 8

Advancing to step 2:
49 divided by 8 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 48 from 49 leaves us with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 8

Step 3:
8 can be fit into 15 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 8 from 15.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 79 / 8

Moving on to step 4:
8 goes into 79 9 times with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 619.0
If we subtract 72 from 79, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 70 / 8

Advancing to step 5:
70 divided by 8 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 6198.0
Subtracting 64 from 70 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 61 / 8

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 61 by 8, we get 7 with a remainder of 5.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61987.0
If we subtract 56 from 61, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
8 goes into 50 6 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61987.6
Deduct 48 from 50 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
8 goes into 20 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 61987.62
If we subtract 16 from 20, 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.

Advancing to step 9:
8 can be fit into 40 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 61987.625
If we subtract 40 from 40, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
8 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 61987.625
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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 11:
8 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 61987.625
Subtracting 0 from 0 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.

The final result is 61987.625 with a remainder of 0.0.
