Full solution
Q. Divide.
- Set up division problem: Set up the division problem in long division format. We are dividing by . Align the decimal points and add a zero to the dividend if necessary for easier division.
- Adjust decimal points: Since we are dividing by a number with a decimal, we need to make the divisor a whole number. To do this, we move the decimal point one place to the right in the divisor ( becomes ). We must do the same to the dividend, moving the decimal point one place to the right ( becomes ).
- Divide first quotient: Now we divide into . goes into once. We write above the line, and then we multiply by and write the result () below the .
- Subtract and bring down: Subtract from to find the remainder. equals . Bring down the next digit () to make the new number .
- Continue division: Now we divide into . goes into six times. We write above the line, and then we multiply by and write the result () below the .
- Subtract and bring down: Subtract from to find the remainder. equals . Bring down the next digit () to make the new number .
- Division with remainder: Now we divide into . Since does not go into , we write above the line. We can add a zero to the dividend (making it ) and bring it down to continue the division.
- Continue division: Now we divide into . goes into nine times. We write above the line, and then we multiply by and write the result () below the .
- Final subtraction: Subtract from to find the remainder. equals . Since the remainder is less than the divisor and we have no more digits to bring down, we can stop the division here.
