When dividing decimals, you move the decimal point to the right in the divisor (the number you are dividing by) to make it a whole number. You must then move the decimal point in the dividend (the number being divided) the same number of places to the right. This ensures that the division remains equivalent. The result will have its decimal point placed according to the new position of the decimal in the dividend.
