Division of Decimals by Whole Numbers

The procedure for the division of decimals is very similar to the division of whole numbers.

How to divide a four digit decimal number by a two digit number (e.g. 0.4131 ÷ 17).

  • Place the divisor (17) before the division bracket and place the dividend (0.4131) under it.
  • 
              
     17)0.4131
    
    
  • Proceed with the division as you normally would except put the decimal point in the answer or quotient exactly above where it occurs in the dividend. For example:
  • 
       0.0243
    17)0.4131
