We divide 973531 by 8
Let's see how many times 8 fits into 973531.

Step 1:
8 can be fit into 9 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 8 from 9 to get 1.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 17 / 8

Let's proceed to step 2:
8 goes into 17 2 times with a remainder of 1.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 16 from 17 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 13 / 8

Let's proceed to step 3:
The number 8 fits into 13 1 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 121.0
If we subtract 8 from 13, we get 5.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 55 / 8

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 55 by 8, we get 6 and a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1216.0
If we take 48 away from 55, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 8

Moving on to step 5:
8 goes into 73 9 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 12169.0
If we take 72 away from 73, we end up with 1.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 11 / 8

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 8 fits into 11 1 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 121691.0
If we take 8 away from 11, 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.

On to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 8, we get 3 and a remainder of 6.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 121691.3
If we subtract 24 from 30, we 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
8 goes into 60 7 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 121691.37
Deduct 56 from 60 and we're left 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.

On to step 9:
If we divide 40 by 8, we get 5 and a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 121691.375
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.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 0 by 8, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 121691.375
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:
The number 8 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 121691.375
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.

The final outcome is 121691.375, with a leftover of 0.0.
