The following is an example of how to divide 238 by 8:
Break it down. 8 goes into 23 two times, because 8x2=16. So then you subtract 16 from 23, and you get 7. Then you bring down the 8. 8 goes into 78 nine times (8x9=72) so then you subtract 72 from 78 and you get 6. Then you go into decimals. Put a decimal point (.) down and then add a zero after the 238 so it looks like this: 238.0 Then you bring down the zero and you have 60. 8 goes into 60 seven times. 8x7=57. 60-56=4. Then you bring down another 0. 8 goes into 40 five times. 8x5=40 so you put down the five, and you have your answer.
