Question

How to divide decimals ?

Answer 1

Steps to divide decimals

1. Multiply the Divisor by the least number of $10$'s required to make it a whole number.
2. Multiply Dividend by the same number of $10$'s as of Divisor.
3. Now, the problem transforms into a normal division problem.

Example:

$$\begin{gathered} 13.5÷0.55=\frac{13.5\times 100}{0.55\times 100}=\frac{1350}{55} \\ 5524.5451350.011025022030027525022030027525 \\ \Rightarrow 13.5÷0.55=24.\overline{54} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, these are the step to be followed to divide two decimal numbers.
