If the divisor is
not a whole number, move decimal point to right to make it a whole
number and move decimal point in dividend the same number of places.Divide as usual. ... Put decimal point directly above decimal point in the dividend.Check your answer.
In dividing decimals, we need to consider
having the dividend as a whole number and the divisor as decimal or both
dividend and divisor are decimals.
For example:
60 divided by 0.2 is 300.
60 - is the dividend, the number we are dividing
0.2- is the divisor, the number we are dividing by
300- is the quotient.
There are simple steps we need to follow to get an accurate quotient.
* DECIMAL in the Divisor and a whole number in the Dividend
Step 1. We need to move the decimal point to right of the last digit making the decimal number into a whole number.
0.2 is our divisor, move the decimal point to the right making it as a whole number, 2.
Step 2. Since we moved one place to the right in the divisor, we also need to do the same thing in our dividend by adding 0. The number of places you move in the divisor is also the number of zeros added as the number of places in the dividend.
60 will now become 60.0 or 600.
Step 3. Having the new dividend and divisor, we need to proceed to the division process of whole numbers.
So it would be:
600/2 = 300. Therefore: 60/ 0.2 = 300.
* DECIMALS in the Divisor and the Dividend
5.64 / 0.2 = 28.2
Step 1: Repeat the process mentioned above and do the same with the dividend.
Our new divisor is 2.0 or 2.
Our new dividend is 56.4
we have to take note that the number of places to move with the dividend will only base on the number of places moved in the divisor. Since we only moved one place to the right in our divisor, so our dividend will be 56.4.
Step 2. Our division problem is now 56.4 / 2 = n.
Take note that the dividend is still a decimal number.
Step 3. Move on to the standard division process. Wherever the decimal point in our dividend is, we need to have the same position of the decimal in our quotient.
Whenever the dividend is a decimal number and the divisor is whole number, the quotient will have to insert the dividend's decimal point.
56.4 / 2 = 28.2
Note: Division process will be done better using the long division process.
For example:
60 divided by 0.2 is 300.
60 - is the dividend, the number we are dividing
0.2- is the divisor, the number we are dividing by
300- is the quotient.
