Let's divide 997988 by 11
We want to figure out the number of times 997988 can be divided by 11.

On to step 1:
11 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 9, we get 9.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 9 and continue with: 99 / 11

Advancing to step 2:
If we divide 99 by 11, we get 9 and a remainder of 0.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9.0
Subtract 99 from 99 to get 0.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 0, then carry on: 7 / 11

On to step 3:
11 goes into 7 0 times with a remainder of 7.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 90.0
If we subtract 0 from 7, we get 7.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 79 / 11

Moving on to step 4:
The number 11 fits into 79 7 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 907.0
The remainder is 2 after subtracting 77 from 79.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 28 / 11

Moving on to step 5:
If we divide 28 by 11, we get 2 and a remainder of 6.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 9072.0
Subtract 22 from 28 to get 6.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 6 and continue with: 68 / 11

Moving on to step 6:
The number 11 fits into 68 6 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 90726.0
Subtracting 66 from 68 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.

Let's proceed to step 7:
20 divided by 11 is 1 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 90726.1
Subtract 11 from 20 to 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.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 90 by 11, we get 8 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 90726.18
Subtract 88 from 90 to 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.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 20 by 11, we get 1 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 90726.181
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 11 from 20.
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:
The number 11 fits into 90 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 90726.1818
Subtracting 88 from 90 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.

Advancing to step 11:
The number 11 fits into 20 1 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 90726.18181
Subtract 11 from 20 to 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.

Let's proceed to step 12:
11 can be fit into 90 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 90726.181818
Subtract 88 from 90 to 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.

On to step 13:
When dividing 20 by 11, we get 1 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 90726.1818181
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:
The number 11 fits into 90 8 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 90726.18181818
Subtract 88 from 90 to 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.

Our division results in 90726.18181818 with a remaining 2e-09.
