To move the decimal you must move the decimal in the divisor all the way to the right to make it a whole number. Then in the dividend, you move that decimal to the right the same amount of spaces you did in the divisor.
The divisor must always be a whole number. If it is not already, then you must multiply both the the divisor and dividend by ten until the divisor is no longer a decimal. For example, let's say you have to divide 1.0/0.5 . The divisor in this case would be 0.5 . To multiply by ten, simply move the decimal over to the right one space. That would leave you with 5.0, but since you have to do it on both sides, the final expression would look like this: 10/5 .
Multiply the quotient by the divisor to result in the dividend.If dividend/divisor=quotient, then dividend=quotient x divisor
Eliminate it as for example 25.5 divided by 8.5 is the same as 255 divided by 85 which is 3 in both divisions
