Set up the division problem: Set up the division problem. We need to divide 3.478 by 37. We can set this up as a long division problem where 3.478 is the dividend and 37 is the divisor.Adjust the dividend: Determine if we need to adjust the dividend. Since the dividend has three decimal places, we can multiply both the dividend and the divisor by 1000 to make the dividend a whole number. This will not change the value of the quotient. 3.478 × 1000 = 3478 37 × 1000 = 37000 Now we have 3478 ÷ 37000.Perform the division: Perform the division. We can see that 37 does not go into 3 or 34, but it does go into 347. To find out how many times, we can estimate. 37 is close to 40, and 340 divided by 40 is 8.5, which is too high because 37 is less than 40. Let's try 9. 37 × 9 = 333 This is less than 347, so we can subtract 333 from 347. 347 - 333 = 14 Bring down the next digit, which is 8, to get 148.Continue the division: Continue the division. Now we need to see how many times 37 goes into 148. Again, we can estimate. 37 is close to 40, and 140 divided by 40 is 3.5, which is too high. Let's try 4. 37 × 4 = 148 This is exactly 148, so we can subtract 148 from 148. 148 - 148 = 0 Since there are no more digits to bring down, we have completed the division.Write the final answer: Write the final answer. The quotient of 3478 divided by 37000 is 0.094. Since we multiplied the dividend and divisor by 1000 in step 2, we do not need to adjust the decimal place in our final answer.
