We divide 296473 by 8
Let's see how many times 8 fits into 296473.

Let's proceed to step 1:
8 goes into 2 0 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 29 / 8

Step 2:
29 divided by 8 is 3 with a remainder of 5.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 24 away from 29, we end up with 5.
Include the next digit (6) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 56 / 8

Going ahead to step 3:
56 divided by 8 is 7 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 37.0
Subtract 56 from 56 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 4 / 8

Advancing to step 4:
8 can be fit into 4 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 370.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 0 from 4.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 47 / 8

Going ahead to step 5:
8 goes into 47 5 times with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 3705.0
If we take 40 away from 47, we end up with 7.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 73 / 8

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 73 by 8, we get 9 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 37059.0
Subtract 72 from 73 to get 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 10 by 8, we get 1 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 37059.1
If we subtract 8 from 10, we 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.

Going ahead to step 8:
20 divided by 8 is 2 with a remainder of 4.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37059.12
Subtract 16 from 20 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.

Step 9:
When dividing 40 by 8, we get 5 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 37059.125
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.

Advancing to step 10:
0 divided by 8 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 37059.125
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.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 8 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 37059.125
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 37059.125 with a balance of 0.0.
