We divide 879278 by 8
We want to figure out the number of times 879278 can be divided by 8.

Advancing to step 1:
8 divided by 8 is 1 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 7 / 8

Advancing to step 2:
The number 8 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 10.0
Subtracting 0 from 7 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 79 / 8

Moving on to step 3:
8 goes into 79 9 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 109.0
Deduct 72 from 79 and we're left with 7.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 72 / 8

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 72 by 8, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1099.0
Deduct 72 from 72 and we're left with 0.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 7 / 8

On to step 5:
7 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 10990.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 8

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 78 by 8, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 109909.0
If we take 72 away from 78, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
If we divide 60 by 8, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 109909.7
If we subtract 56 from 60, 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 8, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 109909.75
Subtracting 40 from 40 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
The number 8 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 109909.75
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
8 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 109909.75
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 109909.75 with a balance of 0.0.
