We're dividing 67978 by 8 
We want to divide 67978 by 8.

Let's proceed to step 1:
8 can be fit into 6 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 0 from 6.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 67 / 8

Step 2:
67 divided by 8 is 8 with a remainder of 3.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 8.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 64 from 67.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 3, then repeat: 39 / 8

Advancing to step 3:
8 can be fit into 39 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 84.0
If we take 32 away from 39, we end up with 7.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 77 / 8

Step 4:
8 goes into 77 9 times with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 849.0
If we take 72 away from 77, we end up with 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 8

Let's proceed to step 5:
58 divided by 8 is 7 with a remainder of 2.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 8497.0
Subtract 56 from 58 to get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
8 can be fit into 20 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8497.2
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 16 from 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 8 fits into 40 5 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 8497.25
Subtract 40 from 40 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.

Advancing to step 8:
8 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8497.25
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
8 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8497.25
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.

After the division, we end up with 8497.25 and a remainder of 0.0.
