It is not always necessary. For example 100/5 = 20. No decimal points in sight!

A quotient. A decimal is simply one of many ways of representing a number.
Dividing by decimal is different from dividing by whole number as you have to multiply by a number to remove the decimal.
Because when you want to divide a decimal by a larger number, like 3 divided by 5, you need to add a zero to make the 3, 30, so you can divide, but then the quotient has to be a decimal because 5 does not go into 3 evenly
A quotient is the result of dividing one number by another. It can be expressed as a ratio or as a decimal.

If you are making use of long division method, the process of dividing a whole number is actually a subset of the process of dividing the decimals. While dividing both you may get a quotient with decimal places. Some exceptions to this do exist in case of whole numbers. Like when you are dividing 100 by 2, the quotient 50 has no decimal places.
It is not always necessary. For example 100/5 = 20. No decimal points in sight!
the decimal place in the quotient or product should be based in the decimal place of the given with the least significant figures
It is called a divisor. The inside number is called the dividend and the answer is the quotient. The leftover number is called the quotient but you can keep dividing until you get a decimal.
the Remainder is divided by the outside number to form another decimal, which is added onto the end of the answer.
If it's long division then it is because the quotient will become a decimal number after its decimal point
The quotient of a number and 21 is the result obtained when you divide the number by 21. For example, if you divide 42 by 21, you get a quotient of 2. If you divide 63 by 21, you get a quotient of 3. And so on. The quotient can be an integer or a decimal number, depending on the numbers youβre dividing.
