In long division with decimals, you place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend (the number being divided). If the divisor has a decimal, you can move the decimal point to the right until it becomes a whole number, and you must do the same with the dividend. After aligning the decimal points, proceed with the division as you would with whole numbers.

What is similar about when you multiply decimals and divide decimals by a power of ten?
Both multiplication and division can be performed simply by moving the decimal point of the number: to the right if multiplying, to the left if dividing. E.g. for 10, you can move the decimal point by one place to perform the operation. Multiplication by 10: move decimal one place to the right (add zero if already a whole number). Division by 10: move decimal point one place to the left (one place in if a whole number).
How do I place the decimal point in the product of two decimals?
If the two decimal numbers have x and y digits after the decimal points, then the product has (x + y) digits after the decimal point.

How do I place the decimal point in the product of two decimals?
If the two decimal numbers have x and y digits after the decimal points, then the product has (x + y) digits after the decimal point.
How do you divide with decimals in the dividend?
Put the decimal point for the quotient exactly above the decimal point in the dividend. Then forget about it, and just keep your digits lined up as you do the division. The decimal point winds up exactly where it belongs in the quotient.

Expressed as a decimal fraction, 0.01 is equal to one hundredth. The hundredths place is the second digit after the decimal point - the first is the tenths place.
