Put the decimal point for the quotient exactly above the decimal point in the dividend.

Then forget about it, and just keep your digits lined up as you do the division. The

decimal point winds up exactly where it belongs in the quotient.

How do you i divide decimals?

To divide decimals, first, eliminate the decimal point from the divisor by multiplying both the divisor and the dividend by the same power of 10. Then, perform the division as you would with whole numbers. Finally, place the decimal point in the quotient directly above where it would appear in the dividend, based on the number of decimal places in the dividend. Adjust the quotient if necessary to ensure accuracy.

Which way do you go when you divide decimals the left or right?

When dividing decimals, you move the decimal point to the right in the divisor (the number you are dividing by) to make it a whole number. You must then move the decimal point in the dividend (the number being divided) the same number of places to the right. This ensures that the division remains equivalent. The result will have its decimal point placed according to the new position of the decimal in the dividend.
