We divide 973471 by 8
We're looking to find how many times 8 goes into 973471.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 9 by 8, we get 1 and a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 8 away from 9, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 8

Step 2:
The number 8 fits into 17 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtract 16 from 17 to get 1.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 13 / 8

On to step 3:
8 goes into 13 1 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 121.0
Deduct 8 from 13 and we're left with 5.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 54 / 8

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 54 by 8, we get 6 with a remainder of 6.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1216.0
Deduct 48 from 54 and we're left with 6.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 67 / 8

On to step 5:
67 divided by 8 is 8 with a remainder of 3.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12168.0
Deduct 64 from 67 and we're left with 3.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 31 / 8

Advancing to step 6:
31 divided by 8 is 3 with a remainder of 7.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 121683.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 24 from 31.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 70 by 8, we get 8 with a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 121683.8
If we take 64 away from 70, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 60 by 8, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 121683.87
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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 8 fits into 40 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 121683.875
Deduct 40 from 40 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121683.875
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.

Step 11:
0 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 121683.875
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.

The final result is 121683.875 with a remainder of 0.0.
