Let's divide 338956 by 8
We want to figure out the number of times 338956 can be divided by 8.

Step 1:
When dividing 3 by 8, we get 0 with a remainder of 3.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 33 / 8

Step 2:
33 divided by 8 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 32 away from 33, we end up with 1.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 18 / 8

Step 3:
The number 8 fits into 18 2 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 16 from 18.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 8

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 8 fits into 29 3 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 423.0
Subtract 24 from 29 to get 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 8

Let's proceed to step 5:
If we divide 55 by 8, we get 6 and a remainder of 7.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4236.0
Deduct 48 from 55 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 76 / 8

On to step 6:
76 divided by 8 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42369.0
Subtracting 72 from 76 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
The number 8 fits into 40 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42369.5
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 8:
0 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 42369.5
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.

Moving on to step 9:
0 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42369.5
Deduct 0 from 0 and we're left 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 42369.5 with a balance of 0.0.
