By the time you advance to the point of dividing decimals, you don't use remainders any more.
To multiply decimals, first ignore the decimal point.For example: 5.3 x 4.2 = 22.26 on a calculator.To manually reach the same answer:Multiply without the decimal point: 53 x 42 = 22265.3 is 1 decimal point4.2 is 1 decimalTotal is 2 decimal points, which makes the answer 22.26
In that you carry out exactly the same steps - AND you must determine the correct position of the decimal point.
The fundamental operations on whole numbers and decimals are addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication. However, multiplying and dividing decimals is a bit more complicated because you have to count decimal points to get an accurate answer.
it just means to brings the decimal up ^^
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.
add a zero to the end (only if it'safter the decimal) and continue dividing
you put that number as your remainder

Accountants use decimals by simply dividing the fractions and getting a decimal number. One does not need to be an accountant to use decimals.

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.
It is in decimal form already.
You line up the decimals with the thousandths and put the decimal straight down from where it is and just add with the decimal in the same spot.
The relationship between fractions and decimals can be seen as follow. Fractions can be represented as ratio of two numbers and on dividing can give a decimal value. And decimal value can be converted into a fraction too.
You put all of the decimals in order
