We're dividing 278489 by 11 
We're looking to find how many times 11 goes into 278489.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 11 fits into 2 0 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 27 / 11

Step 2:
11 goes into 27 2 times with a remainder of 5.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtract 22 from 27 to get 5.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 5, then repeat: 58 / 11

Moving on to step 3:
The number 11 fits into 58 5 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 25.0
The remainder is 3 after subtracting 55 from 58.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 3, then carry on: 34 / 11

Moving on to step 4:
When dividing 34 by 11, we get 3 with a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 253.0
If we take 33 away from 34, we end up with 1.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 18 / 11

On to step 5:
The number 11 fits into 18 1 times, leaving a remainder of 7.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2531.0
Subtracting 11 from 18 leaves us with 7.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 7, then repeat: 79 / 11

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 79 by 11, we get 7 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 25317.0
Subtracting 77 from 79 leaves us with 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 7:
20 divided by 11 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25317.1
If we subtract 11 from 20, we get 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
90 divided by 11 is 8 with a remainder of 2.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25317.18
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 88 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 9:
11 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25317.181
Deduct 11 from 20 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
11 goes into 90 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 25317.1818
If we take 88 away from 90, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Step 11:
11 can be fit into 20 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25317.18181
Subtracting 11 from 20 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
When dividing 90 by 11, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 25317.181818
If we subtract 88 from 90, 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.

Step 13:
If we divide 20 by 11, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25317.1818181
If we take 11 away from 20, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
11 goes into 90 8 times with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25317.18181818
If we take 88 away from 90, we end up with 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 25317.18181818, and the remainder is 2e-09.
