Dividing Decimals and Long Division

The video tutorial explains how to divide a decimal by a whole number using long division. It provides two examples: dividing 4.3 by 2 and 7.83 by 9. The process involves moving the decimal point into the quotient and performing division as usual. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of continuing division until the decimal terminates or repeats, and it explains how to handle remainders by adding zeros.

What is the first step in dividing a decimal by a whole number?

• Add zeros to the decimal

• Rewrite it as a long division problem

• Move the decimal point to the left

• Multiply the decimal by 10

When setting up a long division problem with decimals, what should you do with the decimal point?

• Place it at the end of the number

• Move it up into the quotient

• Move it to the left

• Ignore it
