Let's divide 996953 by 8
Our goal is to divide 996953 by 8.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 9 by 8, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 8 from 9.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 8

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 8 fits into 19 2 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 16 from 19.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 36 / 8

Advancing to step 3:
If we divide 36 by 8, we get 4 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 124.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 32 from 36.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 49 / 8

Let's proceed to step 4:
The number 8 fits into 49 6 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1246.0
If we subtract 48 from 49, we get 1.
Append the next digit (5) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 15 / 8

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 15 by 8, we get 1 with a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12461.0
Deduct 8 from 15 and we're left with 7.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 73 / 8

Moving on to step 6:
If we divide 73 by 8, we get 9 and a remainder of 1.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 124619.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 72 from 73.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
When dividing 10 by 8, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 124619.1
If we take 8 away from 10, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 20 by 8, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 124619.12
Deduct 16 from 20 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
8 can be fit into 40 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 124619.125
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.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 124619.125
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
8 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 124619.125
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 quotient of the division is 124619.125, and the remainder is 0.0.
