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
What do you do if the decimal point is in the dividend?
Divide as normal, but make sure to place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend.
What is the decimal quotient for 19 divided by 5?
3.8
Which describes how to move the decimal point in the dividend 6000 to find the quotient 6000 divided by 100000?
Since the calculation entails division by 105, the decimal point (implied at the right of 6000) should be moved 5 places to the left.
What is the quotient called when it is a decimal?
A quotient. A decimal is simply one of many ways of representing a number.

What do you do if the decimal point is in the dividend?

How do you divide with decimals in the dividend?
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.
Must a decimal divisor and a decimal dividend have the same number of decimal places in order to have a whole-number quotient?
No.
Why is it necessary to put zero when the dividend has a remainder?
If it's long division then it is because the quotient will become a decimal number after its decimal point
If the quotient if 684.2 and the dividend is 5474 what is the divisor?
0.125
When you divide a decimal by a number greater than 1 how does the quotient compare with the divided?
The quotient can be smaller or larger - depending on whether the original was negative or positive. It will be unchanged if it was 0.
What is the outside number in a division problem called?
It is called a divisor. The inside number is called the dividend and the answer is the quotient. The leftover number is called the quotient but you can keep dividing until you get a decimal.
How do you place the decimal point in the quotient when dividing a decimal by a whole number?
The decimal point goes in the quotient the moment you reach the decimal point in the dividend and need to use the digit in the tenths column. When using the "Bus stop" method, the digits will line up so that the decimal point goes in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend.Using the Bus stop method, it is easiest to put the decimal point in the quotient above the decimal point in the dividend first (before any any division calculation is done) and then do the division by ignoring the decimal points and putting digits in the quotient as normal; except if once all the digits of the dividend have been used there is a non-zero remainder, zeros can be added to the end of the dividend as they are trailing zeros after a decimal point which make no difference to the number.eg dividing 1.2 by 5:First place the decimal point in the quotient over the decimal point in the dividend:_____.___------5_|_1.2Now divide as normal:____0.2__------5_|_1.2____1 0____----______2Used up all the digits of the dividend but have a remainder, so add trailing zeros after the decimal point and finish the division:____0.24__--------5_|_1.2000____1 0____----______20______20______---_______0Only needed one extra 0, but it did not hurt putting three of them.→ 1.2 ÷ 5 = 0.24Sometimes the decimal may recur or not terminate; in that case, stop when the required level of accuracy is reached (rounding by calculating a further digit and using that as the deciding digit).

Which describes how to move the decimal point in the dividend 6000 to find the quotient 6000 divided by 100000?
Since the calculation entails division by 105, the decimal point (implied at the right of 6000) should be moved 5 places to the left.
What is a quotient as a decimal?
A quotient is the result of dividing one number by another. It can be expressed as a ratio or as a decimal.
