We're dividing 979729 by 8 
We're looking to find how many times 8 goes into 979729.

Step 1:
When dividing 9 by 8, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 8

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 17 by 8, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 16 from 17, we get 1.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 8

On to step 3:
When dividing 19 by 8, we get 2 with a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122.0
If we take 16 away from 19, we end up with 3.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 37 / 8

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 37 by 8, we get 4 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1224.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 32 from 37.
Fetch the next digit (2) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 52 / 8

Going ahead to step 5:
8 can be fit into 52 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12246.0
Subtract 48 from 52 to get 4.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 8

Going ahead to step 6:
49 divided by 8 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 122466.0
If we take 48 away from 49, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
8 can be fit into 10 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122466.1
If we subtract 8 from 10, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
20 divided by 8 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122466.12
Subtracting 16 from 20 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.

On to step 9:
The number 8 fits into 40 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 122466.125
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 10:
0 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 122466.125
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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 8 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 122466.125
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.

The final outcome is 122466.125, with a leftover of 0.0.
