• Place the decimal
point in the dividend
and then move it up
to the quotient.
• Add a zero to the
dividend.
• Continue dividing.

To divide a decimal by a
0011 0010 1010 1101 0001 0100 1011
decimal move the
decimal point in the divisor
over to make a
whole number:

Now, move the decimal point
0011 0010 1010 1101 0001 0100 1011
in the dividend over the same
number of spaces and then
move your decimal point
straight up and divide

• To divide a decimal by a decimal move the decimal point
in the divisor over to make a whole number.
• Then you move the same amount of spaces in your
dividend.
