We look at the division of 11978 by 60 
We want to figure out the number of times 11978 can be divided by 60.

Let's proceed to step 1:
60 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 11 / 60

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 11 by 60, we get 0 and a remainder of 11.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 0 from 11.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 119 / 60

Step 3:
119 divided by 60 is 1 with a remainder of 59.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 59 after subtracting 60 from 119.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 59 and continue: 597 / 60

Moving on to step 4:
If we divide 597 by 60, we get 9 and a remainder of 57.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 19.0
Deduct 540 from 597 and we're left with 57.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 57 and continue with: 578 / 60

Step 5:
578 divided by 60 is 9 with a remainder of 38.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 199.0
If we subtract 540 from 578, we get 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 380, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 6:
380 divided by 60 is 6 with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 199.6
Subtracting 360 from 380 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
60 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 199.63
Deduct 180 from 200 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
60 goes into 200 3 times with a remainder of 20.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 199.633
Deduct 180 from 200 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 199.633 with a balance of 0.002.
