Example Question #71 : The Number System
Solve:
The first thing that we want to do when dividing decimals is to turn the divisor into a whole number. We do this by moving the decimal place to the right:
If we move the decimal over two places in the divisor, we must also move the decimal over two places in the dividend:
The new division problem should look as follows:
*Notice how we've already placed the decimal in our answer. When we divide decimals, we place the decimal directly above the decimal in the dividend, but only after we've completed the first two steps of moving the decimal point in the divisor and dividend.
Now we can divide like normal:
Think: how many times can 73 go into 345
73 can go into 345 four times times so we write a 4 over the 5 in the dividend:
Next, we multiply 4 and 73 and write that product underneath the 345 and subtract:
Now we bring down the 7 from the dividend to make the 53 into a 537.
Think: how many times can 73 go into 537?
