Add as many zeroes to the right as there are digits to the right of the decimal point.
Eg 123 divided by 4.56 becomes 12300 divided by 456...

How do you check the answer to a decimal division question?
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to result in the dividend.If dividend/divisor=quotient, then dividend=quotient x divisor
Must a decimal divisor and a decimal dividend have the same number of decimal places?
No.
When you are converting a fraction to a decimal how do you know which number is the dividend and which number is the divisor?
The dividend is the numerator and the divisor is the denominator. Basically, you divide the top number (numerator) by the bottom number (denominator).
Why do you move the decimal to divide a decimal by a decimal?
To move the decimal you must move the decimal in the divisor all the way to the right to make it a whole number. Then in the dividend, you move that decimal to the right the same amount of spaces you did in the divisor.
What is the number that divides into the dividend?
Dividend divided by divisor equals quotient.

Must a decimal divisor and a decimal dividend have the same number of decimal places?
No.
What is the difference between a divisor and dividend?
Divisor: the number by which a dividend is divided Dividend: a number to be divided
Must a decimal divisor and a decimal dividend have the same number of decimal places in order to have a whole-number quotient?
No.
Which is the dividend and which is the divisor?
Dividend : Divisor = Quotient

Which goes first dividend of divisor?
dividend then divisor
What is a quotient divisor and a dividend?
Dividend if the number that you divide, divisor is the number that you divide dividend into, and quotient is the number that you get from dividing dividend into divisor. For example, in 12/3=4, 12 is the dividend, 3 is the divisor, and 4 is the quotient.
What is the number that divides into the dividend?
Dividend divided by divisor equals quotient.
What is the number that divided the dividend?
a divisor
What is the divisor when the dividend is 53 and the quotient is 5 with a remainder of 8?
The divisor is 9. quotient x divisor + remainder = dividend ⇒ quotient x divisor = dividend - remainder ⇒ divisor = (dividend - remainder) ÷ quotient = (53 - 8) ÷ 5 = 45 ÷ 5 = 9
