We look at the division of 243871 by 8 
We're looking to find how many times 8 goes into 243871.

Step 1:
8 can be fit into 2 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 24 / 8

Let's proceed to step 2:
8 goes into 24 3 times with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we subtract 24 from 24, we get 0.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 3 / 8

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 3 by 8, we get 0 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 30.0
Subtract 0 from 3 to get 3.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 38 / 8

Step 4:
If we divide 38 by 8, we get 4 and a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 304.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 32 from 38.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 67 / 8

Going ahead to step 5:
The number 8 fits into 67 8 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3048.0
Subtract 64 from 67 to get 3.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 31 / 8

Let's proceed to step 6:
When dividing 31 by 8, we get 3 with a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30483.0
Subtracting 24 from 31 leaves us with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 7:
The number 8 fits into 70 8 times, leaving a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30483.8
Subtract 64 from 70 to 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 can be fit into 60 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 7 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 30483.87
Subtract 56 from 60 to 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.

On to step 9:
40 divided by 8 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 30483.875
Subtract 40 from 40 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.

On to step 10:
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: 30483.875
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.

Step 11:
0 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 30483.875
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.

In conclusion, the division gives 30483.875 with a balance of 0.0.
