Bring down the next digit (9) to the right of the remainder to get 39.
Now, divide 39 by 11. 39 ÷ 11 = 3 with a remainder of 6.
Write down the 3 above the line.
Lastly, bring down the decimal point and the next digit in the dividend (6) to the right of the remainder to get 66.
Now, divide 66 by 11. 66 ÷ 11 = 6.
The quotient is 6.06.
