  1. DIVISION OF DECIMALS A STEP BY STEP GUIDE

  2. STEP 1- SETTING UP THE DECIMALS Start out by setting up as a long division problems 2 Quotient 8 16 Dividend Divisor

  3. YOUR TURN SET UP THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS IN LONG DIVISION FORM #1. 144 ÷ 2 #2. 16 ÷ 8

  4. SOLUTIONS #1- 144 divided by 2 2 144 #2- 16 divided by 8 8 16 72 2

  5. STEP 2-FINDING YOUR DECIMAL PLACE When you divide a decimal you have to move the decimal in the divisor to the right as many times as necessary to make it a whole number! If you move the decimal in the divisor 3 times then you have to move the decimal in the dividend 3 times!

  6. Examples 1.54.5 Move your decimal over once on both the the dividend and divisor so it looks like…

  7. Examples 15. 45. Move your decimal over once on both the the dividend and divisor so it looks like this
