Let's divide 236997 by 8
We're looking to find how many times 8 goes into 236997.

Let's proceed to step 1:
8 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 23 / 8

Step 2:
23 divided by 8 is 2 with a remainder of 7.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 16 from 23, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 76 / 8

On to step 3:
76 divided by 8 is 9 with a remainder of 4.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29.0
Deduct 72 from 76 and we're left with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 8

Step 4:
The number 8 fits into 49 6 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 296.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 48 from 49.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 8

Moving on to step 5:
When dividing 19 by 8, we get 2 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2962.0
Subtract 16 from 19 to get 3.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 37 / 8

Step 6:
8 goes into 37 4 times with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29624.0
Subtracting 32 from 37 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 50 by 8, we get 6 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 29624.6
Subtracting 48 from 50 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 8, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 29624.62
If we subtract 16 from 20, we 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.

Advancing to step 9:
40 divided by 8 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 29624.625
Subtract 40 from 40 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.

Advancing to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29624.625
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.

Moving on to step 11:
8 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 29624.625
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 29624.625 with a balance of 0.0.
