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.
An even number can be divided by 2 evenly. An odd number will have a remainder of 1 when divided by 2. No decimals will be odd or even.
You change fractions into decimals by dividing their denominators into their numerators as for example 3/4 = 0.75
The relationship between fractions and decimals can be seen as follow. Fractions can be represented as ratio of two numbers and on dividing can give a decimal value. And decimal value can be converted into a fraction too.
Say for example you have 16/5.In remainders, the answer would be 3r1. Now you have to divide the remainder by the divisor So for example: 1/5=0.2 Now you have to place the 3 from the answer we got from the remainder in front of the 0.2 answer: 3.2
