494272 ÷ 8 
Our goal is to divide 494272 by 8.

Moving on to step 1:
4 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 4, we end up with 4.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 49 / 8

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 49 by 8, we get 6 and a remainder of 1.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtracting 48 from 49 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 8

On to step 3:
14 divided by 8 is 1 with a remainder of 6.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 61.0
If we subtract 8 from 14, we get 6.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 62 / 8

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 62 by 8, we get 7 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 617.0
If we subtract 56 from 62, we get 6.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 67 / 8

Going ahead to step 5:
67 divided by 8 is 8 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 6178.0
If we take 64 away from 67, we end up with 3.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 32 / 8

Step 6:
The number 8 fits into 32 4 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 61784.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 32 from 32.
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 7:
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: 61784.0
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.

Moving on to step 8:
The number 8 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 61784.0
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.

Our division results in 61784.0 with a remaining 0.0.
