228997 divided by 8 
Let's see how many times 8 fits into 228997.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 8, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 22 / 8

Step 2:
The number 8 fits into 22 2 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 16 from 22, we get 6.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 68 / 8

Moving on to step 3:
8 can be fit into 68 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 64 away from 68, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 8

Going ahead to step 4:
The number 8 fits into 49 6 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 286.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 48 from 49.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 1, then carry on: 19 / 8

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 19 by 8, we get 2 and a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2862.0
Deduct 16 from 19 and we're left with 3.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 37 / 8

Let's proceed to step 6:
37 divided by 8 is 4 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28624.0
If we take 32 away from 37, we end up with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 8 fits into 50 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 28624.6
Subtract 48 from 50 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.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 20 by 8, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28624.62
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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
8 can be fit into 40 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28624.625
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 0 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 28624.625
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.

On to step 11:
When dividing 0 by 8, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 28624.625
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.

The final outcome is 28624.625, with a leftover of 0.0.
