## Division of Decimals by a Whole Number

how to divide Decimals with whole numbers
Here are the steps to divide Decimals with whole numbers
a. Divide the both number as whole Numbers
b. Now place the decimal point in the quotient as in the decimal number

Let take the division example
i.$2.8 \div 4$
Step 1: Multiply them as whole number
$28 \div 4 = 7$
Step 2: Now place the decimal point in the quotient as in the decimal number
$.7$

ii. $8.4 \div 4$
Step 1: Multiply the
m as whole number
$84 \div 4 = 21$
Step 2: Now place the decimal point in the quotient as in the decimal number
$2.1$

1. $3.5 \div 7$
$3.5 \div 7= .5$

2. $2.5 \div 5$
$2.5 \div 5=.5$

3. $14.49 \div 7$
$14.49 \div 7= 2.07$

## Division of a Decimals by a 10,100,1000

Division of a Decimals by 10,100,1000 is pretty easy.The digit in the divison remains as same as in the decimal number. Just the decimal point is shifted towards left by the same places as there are zeroes over one

Example i. $423.1 \div 100$.
Step 1: The digit remains same as in the decimals
423.1
Step 2: There are two zeroes over 2
Step 3: Shift the decimal point towards left by 2 places
423.1 becomes 4.231

ii. $.23 \div 1000$.
Step 1: The digit in the product remains as same as in the decimal number
.23
Step 2: There are three zeroes over 1
Step 3: Shift the decimal point towards left by 3 places
.23 becomes .00023

$42.56 \div 100 = .4256$

$76.5 \div 10 = 7.65$
$1455.6 \div 100 = 14.556$
