How to divide decimals by whole numbers
Dividing a decimal by a whole number is similar to regular long division, with one key difference: the placement of the decimal point. The main rule is to carry the decimal point straight up to the quotient (the answer) from the dividend (the number being divided).
Divide Decimals by Whole Numbers Lesson
- Set up the problem: Write the division problem using the standard long division bracket. Place the decimal number inside the bracket (the dividend) and the whole number outside (the divisor).
- Place the decimal point: Look at the decimal point in the dividend. Immediately place a decimal point in the quotient directly above it. This is a crucial step that ensures your final answer is correct.
- Divide as usual: Ignore the decimal points for a moment and perform long division as you normally would with whole numbers. Start by dividing the whole number part of the dividend by the divisor.
- Continue dividing: Keep dividing until you have no remainder. You may need to annex zeros to the end of the dividend to continue the division. Adding zeros after the last digit of a decimal does not change its value (e.g., 15.6 is the same as 15.60 and 15.600).
- Stop when finished: The process is complete when the remainder is zero or when you notice the digits in the quotient repeating in a pattern.
