231974 ÷ 8 
We want to divide 231974 by 8.

On to step 1:
8 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 23 / 8

Let's proceed to step 2:
8 goes into 23 2 times with a remainder of 7.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 16 from 23 to get 7.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 71 / 8

Going ahead to step 3:
When dividing 71 by 8, we get 8 with a remainder of 7.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28.0
Subtracting 64 from 71 leaves us with 7.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 79 / 8

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 79 by 8, we get 9 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 289.0
If we take 72 away from 79, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 77 / 8

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 8 fits into 77 9 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2899.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 72 from 77.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 54 / 8

Let's proceed to step 6:
8 goes into 54 6 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 28996.0
If we take 48 away from 54, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
8 can be fit into 60 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28996.7
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 56 from 60.
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 8:
8 goes into 40 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28996.75
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 9:
0 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28996.75
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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 10:
0 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28996.75
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.

The final outcome is 28996.75, with a leftover of 0.0.
