How to divide whole numbers to get decimals
The process of dividing whole numbers to get a decimal quotient involves continuing the division beyond the units column by introducing the decimal point and adding zeros to the dividend.
Step 1: Divide the Whole Numbers
You perform standard long division until you find a remainder that is less than the divisor.
Step 2: Introduce the Decimal Point
Since you have a remainder and you want a decimal answer (not a mixed number), you must move into the decimal places.
Place the decimal point in the quotient (the answer) immediately after the last whole number.
Place the decimal point in the dividend after the last digit.
Add a zero to the right of the dividend’s decimal point. This gives you a new digit to “bring down."
Step 3: Continue the Division
Now you treat the remainder and the new zero as a new number (10) and continue dividing.
Step 4: Add More Zeros (Until the Remainder is Zero or You Decide to Stop)
If your remainder is still not zero, you repeat Step 2 and Step 3 by adding another zero to the dividend and bringing it down.
The video gives a clear, step-by-step approach to walk through the process of dividing whole numbers to get decimals.
