Let's divide 975697 by 8
Our goal is to divide 975697 by 8.

Let's proceed to step 1:
8 goes into 9 1 times with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Deduct 8 from 9 and we're left with 1.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 17 / 8

Step 2:
The number 8 fits into 17 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Deduct 16 from 17 and we're left with 1.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 15 / 8

On to step 3:
15 divided by 8 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 121.0
Subtract 8 from 15 to get 7.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 76 / 8

Advancing to step 4:
8 goes into 76 9 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 1219.0
Deduct 72 from 76 and we're left with 4.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 49 / 8

Moving on to step 5:
The number 8 fits into 49 6 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12196.0
Subtract 48 from 49 to get 1.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 17 / 8

Advancing to step 6:
The number 8 fits into 17 2 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 121962.0
If we take 16 away from 17, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 8, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 121962.1
Deduct 8 from 10 and we're left 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 8:
8 goes into 20 2 times with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 121962.12
Deduct 16 from 20 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.

Let's proceed to step 9:
8 goes into 40 5 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 121962.125
Deduct 40 from 40 and we're left 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.

Going ahead 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: 121962.125
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 11:
When dividing 0 by 8, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 121962.125
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.

The quotient of the division is 121962.125, and the remainder is 0.0.
