978141 ÷ 8 
We want to divide 978141 by 8.

On to step 1:
The number 8 fits into 9 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 8 from 9 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 8

Moving on to step 2:
The number 8 fits into 17 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 16 from 17 to get 1.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 18 / 8

Step 3:
When dividing 18 by 8, we get 2 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 122.0
Deduct 16 from 18 and we're left with 2.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 21 / 8

Advancing to step 4:
8 goes into 21 2 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1222.0
Subtract 16 from 21 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 8

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 54 by 8, we get 6 with a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12226.0
If we subtract 48 from 54, we get 6.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 61 / 8

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 8 fits into 61 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 122267.0
If we take 56 away from 61, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
8 goes into 50 6 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 122267.6
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 48 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
20 divided by 8 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 122267.62
Deduct 16 from 20 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.

Moving on to step 9:
8 can be fit into 40 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 122267.625
If we take 40 away from 40, 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.

On to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 122267.625
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.

Step 11:
If we divide 0 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122267.625
Subtract 0 from 0 to 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.

Our division results in 122267.625 with a remaining 0.0.
