How do you divide a whole number by a decimal?

Answer 1

Change the number to a whole number.

Like if the problem was 12.128/0.032 you would change it to 12.128/0.032

The answer would easily be 379 because I changed 0.032 to just 32 and then divided it

Answer 2

Count the number of digits after decimal point. If the number of digits after point are 4, then multiply and dividethe given decimal number by 10000.

(Here number of zeros are equal to the number of digits after point.)

The number above dividing bar is now an integer, divide this integer by the given whole number. The result can be an integer or a decimal number. Now, divide this result by 10000 which is under by the dividing bar.

e.g. 3.06/3 = (3.06x100)/(3x100) = 306/(3x100) = 102/100 = 1.02

Answer 3

Dividing a decimal by a whole number is the same as multiplying the decimal by the whole number's reciprocal. Convert that fraction to its decimal equivalent and proceed.
