How do you divid decemals?

Answer 1

To divide decimals, first, ensure the divisor (the number you're dividing by) is a whole number by moving the decimal point to the right until it becomes an integer. You must then move the decimal point in the dividend (the number being divided) the same number of places to the right. Once both numbers are adjusted, perform the division as you would with whole numbers and place the decimal point in the quotient directly above where it appears in the adjusted dividend. Finally, simplify the result if necessary.
