We divide 257461 by 8
We're looking to find how many times 8 goes into 257461.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 8 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 2 leaves us with 2.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 25 / 8

Step 2:
If we divide 25 by 8, we get 3 and a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 24 from 25.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 17 / 8

Going ahead to step 3:
17 divided by 8 is 2 with a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 32.0
Deduct 16 from 17 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 8

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 14 by 8, we get 1 and a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 321.0
Deduct 8 from 14 and we're left with 6.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 66 / 8

On to step 5:
66 divided by 8 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 3218.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 64 from 66.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 21 / 8

Step 6:
8 can be fit into 21 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32182.0
Deduct 16 from 21 and we're left 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.

Advancing to step 7:
8 can be fit into 50 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 32182.6
If we subtract 48 from 50, 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.

Step 8:
The number 8 fits into 20 2 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32182.62
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 16 from 20.
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:
If we divide 40 by 8, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 32182.625
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 32182.625
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.

On to 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: 32182.625
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.

The final outcome is 32182.625, with a leftover of 0.0.
