Let's divide 298578 by 11
We want to figure out the number of times 298578 can be divided by 11.

Step 1:
If we divide 2 by 11, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 2 and continue with: 29 / 11

Step 2:
11 goes into 29 2 times with a remainder of 7.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 22 from 29 leaves us with 7.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 7, then carry on: 78 / 11

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 78 by 11, we get 7 and a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 27.0
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 77 from 78.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 11

Step 4:
If we divide 15 by 11, we get 1 and a remainder of 4.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 271.0
Subtract 11 from 15 to get 4.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 4, then repeat: 47 / 11

Let's proceed to step 5:
11 goes into 47 4 times with a remainder of 3.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2714.0
If we subtract 44 from 47, we get 3.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 3, then repeat: 38 / 11

Moving on to step 6:
11 can be fit into 38 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27143.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 33 from 38.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
11 goes into 50 4 times with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27143.4
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 44 from 50.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
60 divided by 11 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27143.45
Subtract 55 from 60 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 50 by 11, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 27143.454
Deduct 44 from 50 and we're left with 6.
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:
The number 11 fits into 60 5 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 27143.4545
Subtracting 55 from 60 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
When dividing 50 by 11, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 27143.45454
If we subtract 44 from 50, we get 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
If we divide 60 by 11, we get 5 and a remainder of 5.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 27143.454545
Subtract 55 from 60 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 50 by 11, we get 4 with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 27143.4545454
If we take 44 away from 50, we end up with 6.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 60, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
When dividing 60 by 11, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 27143.45454545
Subtract 55 from 60 to get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Our division results in 27143.45454545 with a remaining 5e-09.
