We divide 223978 by 8
We want to divide 223978 by 8.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 8, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 22 / 8

Let's proceed to step 2:
22 divided by 8 is 2 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we take 16 away from 22, we end up with 6.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 63 / 8

Advancing to step 3:
63 divided by 8 is 7 with a remainder of 7.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 56 from 63 to get 7.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 79 / 8

Going ahead to step 4:
8 can be fit into 79 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 279.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 72 from 79.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 77 / 8

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 77 by 8, we get 9 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2799.0
Subtract 72 from 77 to get 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 8

Advancing to step 6:
8 goes into 58 7 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27997.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 56 from 58.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 8 fits into 20 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27997.2
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.

Going ahead to step 8:
40 divided by 8 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27997.25
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.

Advancing to step 9:
8 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27997.25
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.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 8, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 27997.25
Subtract 0 from 0 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.

The final outcome is 27997.25, with a leftover of 0.0.
