You can, so the question is based on a misunderstanding.
Divide it by the divisor (the denominator).
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.
Some people do that so that the divisor becomes an integer under the impression that dividing by a whole number is, in some way, easier than dividing by a decimal.
The dividend is the numerator and the divisor is the denominator. Basically, you divide the top number (numerator) by the bottom number (denominator).
When dividing by decimals, the easiest way to do this is to modify the question so that there is no longer a decimal in the divisor. Just as with equivalent fractions, if we multiply the dividend and the divisor by the same number, we do not actually change the question. For example, consider 1 divided by 0.2 (ie 1 / 0.2) Start by multiplying the dividend and the divisor by 10 to remove the decimal in the divisor. This changes the problem to 10 / 2. We can now evaluate the division to give 10/2=5. In your specific case where you want to divide by 3.14, you would times both the dividend and the divisor by 100 to remove the decimal in the divisor. For example 6.28 / 3.14 = 628 / 314 = 2
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.
You divide the dividend by the divisor untilthe remainder is zero; orthe decimal expression begins to repeat a string; oryou have enough digits after the decimal point for the required accuracy.
Yes, you can divide an integer by another integer, but the result may not always be an integer. If the divisor is a factor of the dividend, the result will be an integer. However, if the divisor does not evenly divide the dividend, the result will be a fraction or a decimal. Additionally, division by zero is undefined and cannot be performed.
That depends on what the divisor of the division sum is - without this information it's impossible to know how much of the whole the remainder of 2 represents.
If there is a decimal in the divisor, you should first convert the divisor into a whole number by multiplying both the divisor and the dividend by the same power of ten. This will shift the decimal point to the right, making the divisor a whole number. After adjusting, you can proceed with the division as usual.
When you divide a number, you are determining how many times one number (the divisor) fits into another number (the dividend). The result of this operation is called the quotient. If the dividend cannot be evenly divided by the divisor, the result may include a remainder or be expressed as a decimal or fraction.
Oh honey, it's simple. You divide the numerator by the denominator, and whatever is left over is your remainder. Then you just plop that remainder right behind a decimal point and voilà, you've got your remainder as a decimal. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
