Let's divide 278479 by 11
Our goal is to divide 278479 by 11.

Advancing to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 11, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 2 and we're left with 2.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 2 and continue: 27 / 11

Step 2:
If we divide 27 by 11, we get 2 and 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.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 11

On to step 3:
58 divided by 11 is 5 with a remainder of 3.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25.0
Subtracting 55 from 58 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 34 / 11

Moving on to step 4:
11 can be fit into 34 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 253.0
Deduct 33 from 34 and we're left with 1.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 1 and repeat the process: 17 / 11

Advancing to step 5:
When dividing 17 by 11, we get 1 with a remainder of 6.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2531.0
Subtract 11 from 17 to get 6.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 6 and continue: 69 / 11

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 11 fits into 69 6 times, leaving a remainder of 3.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25316.0
If we take 66 away from 69, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 30 by 11, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25316.2
Subtracting 22 from 30 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 80 by 11, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 25316.27
If we subtract 77 from 80, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
If we divide 30 by 11, we get 2 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25316.272
If we take 22 away from 30, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
When dividing 80 by 11, we get 7 with a remainder of 3.
Put 7 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25316.2727
If we subtract 77 from 80, we get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
11 goes into 30 2 times with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 25316.27272
If we take 22 away from 30, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
If we divide 80 by 11, we get 7 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 25316.272727
Subtracting 77 from 80 leaves us with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
11 can be fit into 30 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 25316.2727272
Deduct 22 from 30 and we're left with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
11 can be fit into 80 7 times, resulting in a remainder of 3.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 25316.27272727
If we take 77 away from 80, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 25316.27272727 with a balance of 3e-09.
