We divide 50740979 by 8
We want to divide 50740979 by 8.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 8, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 5 and continue with: 50 / 8

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 50 by 8, we get 6 and a remainder of 2.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6.0
Subtract 48 from 50 to get 2.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 27 / 8

Going ahead to step 3:
8 can be fit into 27 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 63.0
Subtracting 24 from 27 leaves us with 3.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 34 / 8

Going ahead to step 4:
8 goes into 34 4 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 634.0
Subtract 32 from 34 to get 2.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 20 / 8

Step 5:
When dividing 20 by 8, we get 2 with a remainder of 4.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6342.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 16 from 20.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 49 / 8

Moving on to step 6:
8 goes into 49 6 times with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 63426.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 48 from 49.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 1 and continue with: 17 / 8

Step 7:
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: 634262.0
If we subtract 16 from 17, we get 1.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 19 / 8

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 19 by 8, we get 2 and a remainder of 3.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6342622.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 16 from 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
8 goes into 30 3 times with a remainder of 6.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6342622.3
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 24 from 30.
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 10:
8 goes into 60 7 times with a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 6342622.37
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.

Moving on to step 11:
40 divided by 8 is 5 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6342622.375
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 12:
8 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 6342622.375
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.

On to step 13:
The number 8 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 6342622.375
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

The final result is 6342622.375 with a remainder of 0.0.
