How do you divide circumference by 3.14 if theres a decimal?

Answer 1

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
