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 ^^
How is multiplying two decimals different from multiplying one decimal by a whole number?
they aren't that different but the whole number needs to be converted for them to be the same
How is multiplying and dividing decimals similar to multiplying and dividing whole number?
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!

How do accountants use decimals?

How is dividing decimals and dividing whole numbers the same?
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 what must you do if there is a decimal in the divisor?
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.
Which way do you go when you divide decimals the left or right?
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.
How does an accountant use proportions?
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 for dividing by a whole number is up. what does that mean?
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.
When dividing decimals can you have a remainder in the quotient?
the Remainder is divided by the outside number to form another decimal, which is added onto the end of the answer.
