We look at the division of 155983 by 8 
We want to figure out the number of times 155983 can be divided by 8.

On to step 1:
If we divide 1 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 8

Let's proceed to step 2:
15 divided by 8 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 8 from 15, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 75 / 8

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 75 by 8, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
Deduct 72 from 75 and we're left with 3.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 39 / 8

Advancing to step 4:
39 divided by 8 is 4 with a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 194.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 32 from 39.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 78 / 8

Going ahead to step 5:
8 can be fit into 78 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1949.0
Subtract 72 from 78 to get 6.
Append the next digit (3) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 63 / 8

Step 6:
When dividing 63 by 8, we get 7 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19497.0
Subtracting 56 from 63 leaves us 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 70 by 8, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 19497.8
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 64 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 8, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 19497.87
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.

Step 9:
40 divided by 8 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 19497.875
If we take 40 away from 40, 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.

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: 19497.875
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.

Going ahead 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: 19497.875
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.

The final result is 19497.875 with a remainder of 0.0.
