216596 ÷ 8 
Our goal is to divide 216596 by 8.

Step 1:
The number 8 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 8

Let's proceed to step 2:
8 can be fit into 21 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 16 from 21.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 56 / 8

Step 3:
8 can be fit into 56 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27.0
Subtract 56 from 56 to get 0.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 5 / 8

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 8 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 270.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 59 / 8

Going ahead to step 5:
8 goes into 59 7 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2707.0
Subtracting 56 from 59 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 36 / 8

Going ahead to step 6:
8 goes into 36 4 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27074.0
Subtracting 32 from 36 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.

Moving on to step 7:
8 can be fit into 40 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27074.5
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.

On to step 8:
If we divide 0 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 27074.5
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.

Advancing to step 9:
When dividing 0 by 8, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27074.5
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.

After the division, we end up with 27074.5 and a remainder of 0.0.
