Unlike dividing by a whole number, dividing buy a decimal number cannot be done directly - the divisor must first be converted to a whole number (and then the division can be done).
The easiest way to do this conversion is to keep multiplying the divisor by 10 until a whole number is obtained; however, whatever is done to the divisor must also be done to the dividend, so by whatever the divisor is multiplied, the dividend must also be multiplied.
it just means to brings the decimal up ^^
they aren't that different but the whole number needs to be converted for them to be the same
You multiplie the number you were dividing by with the answer.
Multiplying decimals: Example: 2.5 x 1.3 = 3.25 Start by removing the decimal points, thus: 25 x 13 = (the answer is 325) Both 2.5 and 1.3 have 1 decimal places, so 1 + 1 = 2 (decimal places) Counting 2 places, right to left, places the decimal point here: 3.25 Search Google for division of decimals - there are plenty of how to examples and help on the internet!
Yes. a decimal is a positive number. you can have negative decimals too
Dividing by decimal is different from dividing by whole number as you have to multiply by a number to remove the decimal.
Accountants use decimals by simply dividing the fractions and getting a decimal number. One does not need to be an accountant to use decimals.
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.
When dividing decimals, if there is a decimal in the divisor, you should move the decimal point in the divisor to the right until it becomes a whole number. You must then move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places to the right. Once both numbers are adjusted, you can proceed with the division as usual.
Accountants typically convert fractions to decimals. They do this by dividing the fractions and getting a decimal number. Decimals are easier to work with in accounting.
In the decimals chart, the memory cue "dividing by a whole number is up" means that when you divide a decimal by a whole number, the decimal point in the result shifts to the left, effectively making the value smaller. This visual cue helps students remember that division results in a smaller number, reinforcing the concept that dividing by a whole number decreases the value of the original decimal.
the Remainder is divided by the outside number to form another decimal, which is added onto the end of the answer.

They can show the same number, just in different ways. You can convert fractions into decimals or decimals into fractions.
Number with decimal point and number after it
You multiplie the number you were dividing by with the answer.
you put that number as your remainder
