487187 ÷ 8 
We're looking to find how many times 8 goes into 487187.

Let's proceed to step 1:
8 goes into 4 0 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 48 / 8

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 48 by 8, we get 6 and a remainder of 0.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 48 from 48 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 8

On to step 3:
The number 8 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 60.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 71 / 8

Advancing to step 4:
8 can be fit into 71 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 7.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 608.0
Subtracting 64 from 71 leaves us with 7.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 7 and continue: 78 / 8

Step 5:
When dividing 78 by 8, we get 9 with a remainder of 6.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6089.0
If we take 72 away from 78, we end up with 6.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 67 / 8

On to step 6:
8 can be fit into 67 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 60898.0
If we take 64 away from 67, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Step 7:
If we divide 30 by 8, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 60898.3
If we take 24 away from 30, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
The number 8 fits into 60 7 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 60898.37
If we take 56 away from 60, we end up 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
8 goes into 40 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 60898.375
If we subtract 40 from 40, 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.

Going ahead to step 10:
The number 8 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 60898.375
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.

Advancing 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: 60898.375
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.

Our division results in 60898.375 with a remaining 0.0.
