We divide 178947 by 8
We want to figure out the number of times 178947 can be divided by 8.

On to step 1:
1 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 8

Going ahead to step 2:
8 goes into 17 2 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 16 from 17 to get 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 8

On to step 3:
8 can be fit into 18 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
If we take 16 away from 18, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 8

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 29 by 8, we get 3 and a remainder of 5.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 223.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 24 from 29.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 8

Step 5:
8 goes into 54 6 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2236.0
If we subtract 48 from 54, we get 6.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 67 / 8

Advancing to step 6:
8 can be fit into 67 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 22368.0
Deduct 64 from 67 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
8 goes into 30 3 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22368.3
Subtract 24 from 30 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.

On to step 8:
The number 8 fits into 60 7 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 22368.37
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 56 from 60.
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:
40 divided by 8 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22368.375
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 40 from 40.
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:
When dividing 0 by 8, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 22368.375
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.

Step 11:
If we divide 0 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22368.375
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.

The final outcome is 22368.375, with a leftover of 0.0.
