It really depends on what type of symbol you use (ex. X + - /), but for division you can move the decimal place over for both numbers (the dividend and the divisor) until both numbers are whole and do normal division and then after you would count how many places you moved the decimal place and move the decimal place that many times (to the left) to get your answer.

Hope This Helps!
