Long Division Steps and Decimals

Which is the correct first steps for long division

• Put the divisor outside and the dividend inside

• put the dividend outside and divisor inside

• divide then multiply

• divide and bring down

If you have a remainder when dividing with decimals what must you do?

• leave the remainder

• Add a zero

• Add a zero and continue dividing

What are the steps in the standard algorithm for long division

• find out how many hundreds, then tens, then ones and then add

• Multiply, subtract, bring down

• divide, multiply, subtract, check, bring down

• draw circles for groups and then put dots inside

3.44 divided by 4 =

2.45 divided by 5 =

If you are dividing by a decimal how can you change it to a whole number before dividing?

• Move the decimal to the right until it is a whole number and then make sure you move the decimal the same number of spaces in the dividend.

• Move the decimal to the left until is a whole number and then make sure you move the decimal the same number of spaces in the dividend.

• You don't have to do anything.

• Move the decimal to the right 1 space in the divisor and then 2 spaces in the divisor.

• Move the decimal straight up

• Divide like normal

• Make the divisor a whole number by

• Take out the decimal
