Adjusting the Divisor and Dividend: Adjust the divisor to a whole number by multiplying both the divisor and dividend by a power of 10. To remove the decimal from 0.63, we multiply by 100 (since there are two decimal places). 0.63 * 100 = 63 We also multiply the dividend by 100. 333.9 * 100 = 33390Dividing the Adjusted Dividend by the Adjusted Divisor: Divide the adjusted dividend by the adjusted divisor. Now we divide 33390 by 63. 33390 ÷ 63 = 530Checking for Mathematical Errors: Check the result for any mathematical errors. To check, we multiply the quotient by the divisor to see if we get the original dividend. 530 * 63 = 33390 Since 33390 is the number we got after adjusting the original dividend, our calculation is correct.

Adjusting the Divisor and Dividend: Adjust the divisor to a whole number by multiplying both the divisor and dividend by a power of $10$ . $\newline$ To remove the decimal from $0.63$ , we multiply by $100$ (since there are two decimal places). $\newline$ $0.63 \times 100 = 63$ $\newline$ We also multiply the dividend by $100$ . $\newline$ $333.9 \times 100 = 33390$
Dividing the Adjusted Dividend by the Adjusted Divisor: Divide the adjusted dividend by the adjusted divisor. $\newline$ Now we divide $33390$ by $63$ . $\newline$ $33390 \div 63 = 530$
Checking for Mathematical Errors: Check the result for any mathematical errors. $\newline$ To check, we multiply the quotient by the divisor to see if we get the original dividend. $\newline$ $530 \times 63 = 33390$ $\newline$ Since $33390$ is the number we got after adjusting the original dividend, our calculation is correct.
