551491 ÷ 8 
We're looking to find how many times 8 goes into 551491.

Advancing to step 1:
8 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 55 / 8

On to step 2:
8 can be fit into 55 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 48 from 55 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 71 / 8

Let's proceed to step 3:
71 divided by 8 is 8 with a remainder of 7.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 68.0
If we subtract 64 from 71, we get 7.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 74 / 8

Step 4:
8 goes into 74 9 times with a remainder of 2.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 689.0
Deduct 72 from 74 and we're left with 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 8

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 29 by 8, we get 3 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 6893.0
Subtracting 24 from 29 leaves us with 5.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 5 and continue: 51 / 8

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 51 by 8, we get 6 and a remainder of 3.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 68936.0
Subtracting 48 from 51 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
8 goes into 30 3 times with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 68936.3
Subtract 24 from 30 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 8 fits into 60 7 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 68936.37
Subtract 56 from 60 to 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
40 divided by 8 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 68936.375
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 40 from 40.
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:
8 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 68936.375
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.

Step 11:
8 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 68936.375
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

The final result is 68936.375 with a remainder of 0.0.
