We divide 309371 by 8
We want to figure out the number of times 309371 can be divided by 8.

Let's proceed to step 1:
The number 8 fits into 3 0 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 3, we end up with 3.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 3 and repeat the process: 30 / 8

Let's proceed to step 2:
8 goes into 30 3 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtract 24 from 30 to get 6.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 69 / 8

On to step 3:
The number 8 fits into 69 8 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
Deduct 64 from 69 and we're left with 5.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 53 / 8

Let's proceed to step 4:
8 can be fit into 53 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 386.0
Deduct 48 from 53 and we're left with 5.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 57 / 8

On to step 5:
8 goes into 57 7 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 3867.0
If we take 56 away from 57, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 8

On to step 6:
When dividing 11 by 8, we get 1 with a remainder of 3.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38671.0
If we subtract 8 from 11, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 30 by 8, we get 3 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38671.3
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 24 from 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 8, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38671.37
Subtracting 56 from 60 leaves us with 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 9:
The number 8 fits into 40 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38671.375
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.

Moving on to step 10:
8 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38671.375
If we take 0 away from 0, 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.

Moving on to step 11:
0 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 38671.375
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 38671.375 with a balance of 0.0.
