How is dividing a decimal by a whole number different than dividing 2 decimals?
Unlike dividing by a whole number, dividing buy a decimal number cannot be done directly - the divisor must first be converted to a whole number (and then the division can be done). The easiest way to do this conversion is to keep multiplying the divisor by 10 until a whole number is obtained; however, whatever is done to the divisor must also be done to the dividend, so by whatever the divisor is multiplied, the dividend must also be multiplied.
