Place a decimal point in the quotient (the answer) directly above where the decimal point now appears in the dividend.
\r\nDivide as usual, being careful to line up the quotient properly so that the decimal point falls into place.
\r\nLine up each digit in the quotient just over the last digit in the dividend used in that cycle.
\r\nAs with whole-number division, sometimes decimal division doesnt work out evenly at the end. The denominator represents how many equal parts there are in the whole. Some basic fraction to decimal conversions you should know by heart are 1/4 = .25, 1/2 = .5, and 3/4 = .75. If the numbers are separated by a dividing line, then the dividend is the number to the right of the bracket. It still has a decimal point. Multiplying Decimals and Dividing Decimals - The Easy Way! Part of the series: Perimeter, Area and Decimals. Now, let us look at the following tips that are helpful while dividing decimals. For instance, you have the number 2/10. Subtract 14 from 35 to get 21, which is divisible by 7, and we can now say that 357 is divisible by 7. If the sum is divisible by 3, so is the number. 6 x 40 is equal to 6 x 4 x 10.

How do you turn a mixed number into a decimal? For example, if we need to divide 753.8 100, then it can be easily done by shifting the decimal point to the left and the answer will be 7.538, When we divide a decimal number by 1000, we should move the decimal point to the left by three places.
