Let's divide 740979 by 8
We want to divide 740979 by 8.

On to step 1:
When dividing 7 by 8, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 74 / 8

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 74 by 8, we get 9 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
If we subtract 72 from 74, we get 2.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 20 / 8

Let's proceed to step 3:
8 can be fit into 20 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 92.0
Subtract 16 from 20 to get 4.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 4 and continue with: 49 / 8

Step 4:
8 goes into 49 6 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 926.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 48 from 49.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 8

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 17 by 8, we get 2 and a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 9262.0
If we take 16 away from 17, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 8

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 8 fits into 19 2 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 92622.0
If we take 16 away from 19, we end up 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.

On to step 7:
The number 8 fits into 30 3 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 92622.3
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 24 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
8 goes into 60 7 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 92622.37
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.

Step 9:
The number 8 fits into 40 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 92622.375
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.

Going ahead 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: 92622.375
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
0 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 92622.375
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 92622.375 with a balance of 0.0.
