We look at the division of 38978806 by 8 
Let's see how many times 8 fits into 38978806.

On to step 1:
If we divide 3 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 3 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 38 / 8

Let's proceed to step 2:
8 can be fit into 38 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 32 from 38, we get 6.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 69 / 8

Let's proceed to step 3:
If we divide 69 by 8, we get 8 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 48.0
If we subtract 64 from 69, we get 5.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 57 / 8

Step 4:
If we divide 57 by 8, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 487.0
Subtract 56 from 57 to get 1.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 18 / 8

On to step 5:
8 can be fit into 18 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4872.0
Subtract 16 from 18 to get 2.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 8

On to step 6:
8 can be fit into 28 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 48723.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 24 from 28.
Grab the next digit (0) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 40 / 8

Going ahead to step 7:
40 divided by 8 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 487235.0
Subtracting 40 from 40 leaves us with 0.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 0 and continue with: 6 / 8

Going ahead to step 8:
8 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4872350.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 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 9:
When dividing 60 by 8, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4872350.7
If we subtract 56 from 60, 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.

On to step 10:
When dividing 40 by 8, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4872350.75
Subtracting 40 from 40 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.

Moving on to step 11:
The number 8 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4872350.75
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.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 0 by 8, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4872350.75
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 4872350.75 with a balance of 0.0.
