We look at the division of 479538 by 8 
We want to figure out the number of times 479538 can be divided by 8.

Step 1:
8 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 8

Moving on to step 2:
8 can be fit into 47 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we subtract 40 from 47, we get 7.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 79 / 8

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 79 by 8, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 59.0
If we subtract 72 from 79, we get 7.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 75 / 8

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 75 by 8, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 599.0
If we subtract 72 from 75, we get 3.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 33 / 8

Step 5:
33 divided by 8 is 4 with a remainder of 1.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5994.0
If we take 32 away from 33, we end up with 1.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 18 / 8

Moving on to step 6:
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: 59942.0
Subtract 16 from 18 to 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.

Advancing to step 7:
8 goes into 20 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59942.2
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.

Step 8:
8 can be fit into 40 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 59942.25
Subtract 40 from 40 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:
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: 59942.25
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.

Moving on to step 10:
8 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 59942.25
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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 result is 59942.25 with a remainder of 0.0.
