HIGH IQ brains only. Small IQ brainlets keep out.

I have 3 buckets of capacity 8 gallons (A), 5 gallons (B) and 3 gallons (C).
Initially, only bucket A is full.
This state can be represented by the numbers (8,0,0).

What are the series of steps one needs to perform to divide 8 gallons into two equal parts i.e. 4 gallons in two buckets?

In other words enumerate the steps that will take us from (8,0,0) --> (4,4,0)

Let's see you brainlets figure this out.
