If either of the numerator or the denominator is a number to 1 decimal point it can make the fraction simpler for the less able mathematicians.
For example,
6/1.2 = 60/12 = 5
When you multiply the dividend and the divisor by ten, it changes the numbers to whole numbers instead of decimals so you don't have to deal with the decimal point!
it takes out the decimals in the problem an makes it super easy
the divisor is the number you divide with the dividend
the parts of division problem are : dividend , divisor , quotient and remainder . where : dividend = quotient * divisor + remainder
The divisor and the dividend

You divide the dividend by the divisor (or the divisor 'into' the dividend) to get the quotient.
Divide the divisor into the dividend which will result as a quotient and sometimes having a remainder
In a division problem, the dividend is divided by the divisor.
the divisor is the number you divide with the dividend
Dividend divided by divisor equals quotient.
In some cases that can help you by getting rid of decimals.
the parts of division problem are : dividend , divisor , quotient and remainder . where : dividend = quotient * divisor + remainder
In a division problem, the dividend is the part of the problem to the left of the "
In the problem 12 divided by 4, 12 is the dividend and 4 is the divisor
dividend ÷ divisor = quotient
