Let's divide 298712 by 8
We want to figure out the number of times 298712 can be divided by 8.

Step 1:
The number 8 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 8

Going ahead to step 2:
29 divided by 8 is 3 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 24 from 29.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 8

Step 3:
The number 8 fits into 58 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 56 from 58.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 27 / 8

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 27 by 8, we get 3 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 373.0
If we subtract 24 from 27, we get 3.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 31 / 8

Step 5:
When dividing 31 by 8, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3733.0
Deduct 24 from 31 and we're left with 7.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 72 / 8

Advancing to step 6:
8 can be fit into 72 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37339.0
If we take 72 away from 72, 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 7:
0 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37339.0
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 8:
8 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 37339.0
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.

Our division results in 37339.0 with a remaining 0.0.
