no it does not thank you
Unless you are using remainders, no because the divisor may not divide evenly into the dividend you idiots.
No. Let's say you have 500 divided by 2. Your quotient would be 250.
You can't tell anything about the quotient until you know whatthe divisor is going to be.-- If I divide your 4,796 by 4, the quotient is 1,199 . . . 4 digits.-- And if I divide it by 2,398, the quotient is 2 . . . . only 1 digit.
You would get the quotient first and count the digits.
The decimal point goes in the quotient the moment you reach the decimal point in the dividend and need to use the digit in the tenths column. When using the "Bus stop" method, the digits will line up so that the decimal point goes in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend.Using the Bus stop method, it is easiest to put the decimal point in the quotient above the decimal point in the dividend first (before any any division calculation is done) and then do the division by ignoring the decimal points and putting digits in the quotient as normal; except if once all the digits of the dividend have been used there is a non-zero remainder, zeros can be added to the end of the dividend as they are trailing zeros after a decimal point which make no difference to the number.eg dividing 1.2 by 5:First place the decimal point in the quotient over the decimal point in the dividend:_____.___------5_|_1.2Now divide as normal:____0.2__------5_|_1.2____1 0____----______2Used up all the digits of the dividend but have a remainder, so add trailing zeros after the decimal point and finish the division:____0.24__--------5_|_1.2000____1 0____----______20______20______---_______0Only needed one extra 0, but it did not hurt putting three of them.→ 1.2 ÷ 5 = 0.24Sometimes the decimal may recur or not terminate; in that case, stop when the required level of accuracy is reached (rounding by calculating a further digit and using that as the deciding digit).

To estimate the quotient, we first round off the divisor and the dividend to the nearest tens, hundreds, or thousands and then divide the rounded numbers. In a division sum, when the divisor is made up of 2 digits or more than 2 digits, it helps if we first estimate the quotient and then try to find the actual number.
Put the decimal point for the quotient exactly above the decimal point in the dividend. Then forget about it, and just keep your digits lined up as you do the division. The decimal point winds up exactly where it belongs in the quotient.
It is dividing the dividend by the divisor untilthere is no remainder; orthe digits in the quotient start repeating; oryou have reached a satisfactory degree of accuracy.The last bullet is because some fractions will not start repeating for a long time. Most primes will take as many digits as the prime itself: for example, 1/29 has a repeating string which is 29-digits long.

Add as many zeroes to the right as there are digits to the right of the decimal point. Eg 123 divided by 4.56 becomes 12300 divided by 456...

You divide the dividend by the divisor untilthe remainder is zero; orthe decimal expression begins to repeat a string; oryou have enough digits after the decimal point for the required accuracy.
