Let's divide 51697 by 8
We want to figure out the number of times 51697 can be divided by 8.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 5 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 51 / 8

On to step 2:
8 goes into 51 6 times with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we take 48 away from 51, we end up with 3.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 36 / 8

Advancing to step 3:
36 divided by 8 is 4 with a remainder of 4.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 64.0
Deduct 32 from 36 and we're left with 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 8

Let's proceed to step 4:
8 can be fit into 49 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 646.0
Subtracting 48 from 49 leaves us with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 8

On to step 5:
8 can be fit into 17 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6462.0
If we subtract 16 from 17, we get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
The number 8 fits into 10 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6462.1
If we subtract 8 from 10, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
8 goes into 20 2 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6462.12
If we subtract 16 from 20, 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.

Moving on to step 8:
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: 6462.125
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
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: 6462.125
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.

On to step 10:
0 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6462.125
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.

The final outcome is 6462.125, with a leftover of 0.0.
