Step 4: Bring down a 0 to make the remainder 20. Divide 20 by 11 to get 1.

Step 5: Subtract 11 from 20 to get a remainder of 9. Bring down another 0 to make it 90, then divide 90 by 11 to get 8.

Step 6: Subtract 88 from 90 to get a remainder of 2. Repeat the steps as the process continues, showing the repeating pattern. The division process continues, and we don't get the remainder as 0, indicating a recurring decimal.
