We divide 10487 by 8
We want to figure out the number of times 10487 can be divided by 8.

Let's proceed to step 1:
When dividing 1 by 8, we get 0 with a remainder of 1.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 0 from 1.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 10 / 8

Moving on to step 2:
The number 8 fits into 10 1 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 8 from 10 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 24 / 8

Moving on to step 3:
8 goes into 24 3 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 24 from 24.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 8 / 8

Let's proceed to step 4:
8 goes into 8 1 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 131.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 8 from 8.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 0, then repeat: 7 / 8

Going ahead to step 5:
When dividing 7 by 8, we get 0 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1310.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
70 divided by 8 is 8 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1310.8
Subtract 64 from 70 to get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
If we divide 60 by 8, we get 7 and a remainder of 4.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1310.87
Subtracting 56 from 60 leaves us 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.

Advancing to step 8:
40 divided by 8 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1310.875
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.

Going ahead to step 9:
8 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1310.875
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us 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 10:
The number 8 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1310.875
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.

The final result is 1310.875 with a remainder of 0.0.
