We divide 559487 by 8
We want to figure out the number of times 559487 can be divided by 8.

Going ahead to step 1:
8 goes into 5 0 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 5, we end up with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 8

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 8 fits into 55 6 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 48 from 55 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 79 / 8

Advancing to step 3:
79 divided by 8 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 69.0
Subtract 72 from 79 to get 7.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 74 / 8

Let's proceed to step 4:
8 can be fit into 74 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 699.0
If we take 72 away from 74, we end up with 2.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 28 / 8

Let's proceed to step 5:
8 goes into 28 3 times with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6993.0
Subtract 24 from 28 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 47 / 8

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 47 by 8, we get 5 and a remainder of 7.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 69935.0
Deduct 40 from 47 and we're left with 7.
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:
If we divide 70 by 8, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 69935.8
Subtracting 64 from 70 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 8 fits into 60 7 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 69935.87
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.

Advancing to step 9:
40 divided by 8 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 69935.875
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 8, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 69935.875
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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 8 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 69935.875
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 69935.875, with a leftover of 0.0.
