To divide two complex numbers, multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. This will eliminate the imaginary part in the denominator, allowing you to simplify the expression.

Step 1: Define the Complex Numbers

We start with the complex numbers: \[ \text{Numerator} = 6 - 6i \] \[ \text{Denominator} = 5 + 6i \]

Step 2: Calculate the Conjugate of the Denominator

The conjugate of the denominator \(5 + 6i\) is: \[ \text{Conjugate Denominator} = 5 - 6i \]

Step 3: Multiply by the Conjugate

We multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator: \[ \frac{(6 - 6i)(5 - 6i)}{(5 + 6i)(5 - 6i)} \]

Step 4: Simplify the Expression

Calculating the denominator: \[ (5 + 6i)(5 - 6i) = 5^2 - (6i)^2 = 25 + 36 = 61 \]

Calculating the numerator: \[ (6 - 6i)(5 - 6i) = 30 - 36i - 30i + 36i^2 = 30 - 66i - 36 = -6 - 66i \]

Thus, we have: \[ \frac{-6 - 66i}{61} \]

Step 5: Final Result

This simplifies to: \[ -\frac{6}{61} - \frac{66}{61}i \]

The final result is: \[ \boxed{-0.0984 - 1.08197i} \]
