69978 divided by 8 
We're looking to find how many times 8 goes into 69978.

Let's proceed to step 1:
8 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 6 and we're left with 6.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 69 / 8

Moving on to step 2:
The number 8 fits into 69 8 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
If we subtract 64 from 69, we get 5.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 59 / 8

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 59 by 8, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 87.0
Subtracting 56 from 59 leaves us with 3.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 37 / 8

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 37 by 8, we get 4 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 874.0
Deduct 32 from 37 and we're left with 5.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 58 / 8

Advancing to step 5:
The number 8 fits into 58 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8747.0
Deduct 56 from 58 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.

Step 6:
When dividing 20 by 8, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8747.2
Subtract 16 from 20 to 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 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: 8747.25
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 8:
If we divide 0 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8747.25
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.

Moving on to step 9:
0 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8747.25
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 outcome is 8747.25, with a leftover of 0.0.
