Let's divide 710971 by 8
We want to figure out the number of times 710971 can be divided by 8.

Moving on to step 1:
The number 8 fits into 7 0 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 0 from 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 8

Advancing to step 2:
8 goes into 71 8 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 8.0
Subtracting 64 from 71 leaves us with 7.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 70 / 8

Going ahead to step 3:
8 can be fit into 70 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 88.0
Subtracting 64 from 70 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 69 / 8

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 69 by 8, we get 8 with a remainder of 5.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 888.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 64 from 69.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 57 / 8

Advancing to step 5:
57 divided by 8 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 8887.0
If we subtract 56 from 57, we get 1.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 11 / 8

On to step 6:
11 divided by 8 is 1 with a remainder of 3.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 88871.0
Deduct 8 from 11 and we're left 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.

Going ahead to step 7:
30 divided by 8 is 3 with a remainder of 6.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 88871.3
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.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 60 by 8, we get 7 with a remainder of 4.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 88871.37
If we subtract 56 from 60, we get 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 8, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 88871.375
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
0 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 88871.375
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.

Moving on to step 11:
8 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 88871.375
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.

Our division results in 88871.375 with a remaining 0.0.
