974218 ÷ 8 
We're looking to find how many times 8 goes into 974218.

Step 1:
When dividing 9 by 8, we get 1 with a remainder of 1.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 8 away from 9, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 8

Advancing to step 2:
The number 8 fits into 17 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 12.0
If we subtract 16 from 17, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 14 / 8

Let's proceed to step 3:
8 can be fit into 14 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 121.0
Subtracting 8 from 14 leaves us with 6.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 6, then carry on: 62 / 8

Let's proceed to step 4:
When dividing 62 by 8, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1217.0
If we take 56 away from 62, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 61 / 8

Advancing to step 5:
The number 8 fits into 61 7 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12177.0
Subtract 56 from 61 to get 5.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 58 / 8

Let's proceed to step 6:
8 can be fit into 58 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 121777.0
Subtracting 56 from 58 leaves us with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 20 by 8, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 121777.2
If we subtract 16 from 20, 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.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 8, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121777.25
If we take 40 away from 40, 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.

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: 121777.25
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.

Advancing to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 8, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 121777.25
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 121777.25 with a balance of 0.0.
