We divide 956971 by 8
We want to divide 956971 by 8.

Step 1:
The number 8 fits into 9 1 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 8 from 9 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 15 / 8

Going ahead to step 2:
8 can be fit into 15 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11.0
Subtract 8 from 15 to get 7.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 7 and continue with: 76 / 8

On to step 3:
8 goes into 76 9 times with a remainder of 4.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 119.0
If we take 72 away from 76, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 8

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 49 by 8, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1196.0
Deduct 48 from 49 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 8

Going ahead to step 5:
8 goes into 17 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11962.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 16 from 17.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 11 / 8

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 8 fits into 11 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 119621.0
Subtract 8 from 11 to get 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:
If we divide 30 by 8, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 119621.3
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 24 from 30.
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:
60 divided by 8 is 7 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 119621.37
Deduct 56 from 60 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 next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 119621.375
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.

Moving on to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 119621.375
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 8 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 119621.375
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 119621.375 with a remainder of 0.0.
