In order to solve this problem, we are going to follow this rotation of steps:
D - Divide
M - Multiply
S - Subtract
B - Bring Down
Step 1: In long division, we must divide by a whole number. This means we must move the decimal place in our divisor (1.1) one space to the right to make 11.
Whatever we do to the divisor to make it a whole number, we must also do to the dividend, so we move the decimal in 1.54 one space to the right which gives us 15.4.

 11ec0fda_98d4_73f8_a67f_83c1c197c940_NR0004_00 Step 3: Divide 15 ÷ 11, which is 1 (with a remainder of 4, but we do not do anything with a remainder until the very last step). Put the 1 over the ones place of the number that was just divided (the 5 of the 15). Multiply the 1 by the divisor (11) and write the answer (4) directly underneath the number you divided (15). Subtract 15 - 11 and write the answer underneath the 11.

Multiply the 4 by the divisor (11) and write the answer (44) directly underneath the number you divided (44). Subtract 44 - 44 and write the answer (0) underneath the 44. This zero at the bottom at the end of the problem signals that you have your final answer.
