Division to decimal points

Division to decimal points. We will use the example below. It works out neatly to one decimal place 37 ÷ 8. First, put the problem in more useful form. 8. 37. Next ask:. How many times does 8 go into 37? 8 * 4 = 32 so it is 4 with a remainder of 5. Here is how it looks. 4 R 5.

  1. Division to decimal points

  2. We will use the example below. It works out neatly to one decimal place 37 ÷ 8

  3. First, put the problem in more useful form 8 37 Next ask: How many times does 8 go into 37? 8 * 4 = 32 so it is 4 with a remainderof 5

  4. Here is how it looks. 4 R 5 8 37 32 8 doesn’t go into 5 so that’s it. Right? No. Wrong. 5

  5. Now, you seem stuck 4 8 37 32 5 But not if you remember this simple phrase

  6. Add a point, add a zero. 4 . 8 37 32 5 0 Now instead of being stuck with a remainder, you just keep dividing.

  7. Ask how many times does 8 go into 50 (not 5) 4 . 6 8 37 32 5 0 Answer is 6. Put 6 after the decimal point.

  8. 4 . 6 8 37 32 5 0 4 8 2 8*6=48 so put 48 under the 50 and subtract.

  9. Now, add a zero after the 20 and repeat the process. 4 . 6 8 37 32 5 0 4 8 2 0

  10. 4 . 6 2 How many times does 8 go into 20? 2. So put 2 after the 6 8 37 32 5 0 4 8 16 under the 20. And repeat until you can't or until you get bored. 2 0 16 4
