We're dividing 294257 by 8 
We want to figure out the number of times 294257 can be divided by 8.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 8 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 8

Advancing to step 2:
8 goes into 29 3 times with a remainder of 5.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 24 from 29, we get 5.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 54 / 8

Moving on to step 3:
8 goes into 54 6 times with a remainder of 6.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 36.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 48 from 54.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 62 / 8

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 8 fits into 62 7 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 367.0
Subtracting 56 from 62 leaves us with 6.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 65 / 8

Going ahead to step 5:
8 can be fit into 65 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3678.0
Subtracting 64 from 65 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 8

Moving on to step 6:
8 can be fit into 17 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 36782.0
Deduct 16 from 17 and we're left with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
8 goes into 10 1 times with a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36782.1
Deduct 8 from 10 and we're left with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
8 can be fit into 20 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36782.12
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.

Step 9:
8 can be fit into 40 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 36782.125
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
8 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 36782.125
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.

Going ahead 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: 36782.125
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.

The final outcome is 36782.125, with a leftover of 0.0.
