We're dividing 407901 by 8 
We want to figure out the number of times 407901 can be divided by 8.

Step 1:
The number 8 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 8

On to step 2:
When dividing 40 by 8, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
If we take 40 away from 40, we end up with 0.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 8

Let's proceed to step 3:
8 can be fit into 7 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 50.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 79 / 8

Moving on to step 4:
79 divided by 8 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 509.0
If we take 72 away from 79, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 70 / 8

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 70 by 8, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5098.0
If we take 64 away from 70, we end up with 6.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 61 / 8

Going ahead to step 6:
If we divide 61 by 8, we get 7 and a remainder of 5.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 50987.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 56 from 61.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 50 by 8, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 50987.6
Subtracting 48 from 50 leaves us 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.

Step 8:
8 can be fit into 20 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50987.62
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.

On to step 9:
8 goes into 40 5 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 50987.625
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.

Step 10:
If we divide 0 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 50987.625
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.

Step 11:
8 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 50987.625
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.

The quotient of the division is 50987.625, and the remainder is 0.0.
