If you are making use of long division method, the process of dividing a whole number is actually a subset of the process of dividing the decimals. While dividing both you may get a quotient with decimal places. Some exceptions to this do exist in case of whole numbers. Like when you are dividing 100 by 2, the quotient 50 has no decimal places.

When we divide whole numbers, we get the answer with no decimals places but when we divide decimals, the answer will have decimals for the quotient.
