The dividend is the numerator and the divisor is the denominator. Basically, you divide the top number (numerator) by the bottom number (denominator).

How can you convert a remainder into a fraction or decimal?
To turn a remainder into a fraction you just put the remainder over the dividend. To turn a remainder into a decimal put a decimal in the divisor and in the answer so far, put a zero, bring the zero down and divide what you now have. If that does not come out evenly add another zero in the dividend and do that until it come out evenly

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.
