Math decimal division:


In math decimal division , the basic and the standard division type is Long division.Using long division we can divide numbers with complex or multi complex digit numbers.The following math problem shows the example problem for long division. I like to share this Decimal Calculator with you all through my article.

Explanation:

step 1: 5x1 = 5.

step 2: 6 - 5 = 1.

step 3: 5x2 = 10.

step 4: 12 - 10 =2.

step 5: 5x5 = 25.

step 6:27.5-25 = 2.5.

step 7:5x0.5 = 2.5

0step 8:2.5-2.5 = 0.

So the answer is 125.5.

Understanding pre algebra online practice is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.

Example and practice problems for math decimal division:


Example problems:

Example 1:

Compute the math decimal division 36.3 by 6.

Solution:

Step 1 : 360.3 can be written as 6x6x10+3.

Step 2 : So 6x6x10/6 = 6x10.

Step 3 : 6x10 = 60.

Step 4 : Then divide 0.3/6 = 0.05.

Step 5: The answer is 60+0.05 =60.0.5

Example 2:

Compute the math decimal division 4201.50 by 3.

Solution:

Step 1 : 4200.50 can be written as 2x3x7x10x10+1.5

Step 2 : So 2x3x7x10x10/ 3 = 14x10x10

Step 3 : 14x100 = 1400.

Step 4 : Then divide 1.5/3 = 0.5

Step 5 : The answer is 1400+0.5=1400.5.

Example 3:

Compute the math decimal division 56.25 by 2.

Solution:

Step 1 : 56.25 can be written as 2x4x7+0.25.

Step 2 : So 2x4x7/2= 4x7.

Step 3 : 4x7 = 28.

Step 4 :Then divide 0.25/2 = 0.125

Step 5 : The answer is 280+2.5=282.5.

Example 4:

Compute the math decimal division 366.6 by 6.

Solution:

Step 1 : 366.6 can be written as 2x3x61+0.6

Step 2 : So 2x3x61/6 = 61.

Step 3 : Then divide 0.3/6 = 0.05

Step 4 : 61+0.05 = 61.05

Step 5 : The answer is 610.5.

Example 5:

Compute the math decimal division 440.32 by 8.

Solution:

Step 1 : 440.32 can be written as 2x2x11xx10+0.32.

Step 2 : So 2x2x2x5x11/8 = 5x8x11/8.

Step 3 : 5x11 = 55.

Step 4 :  Then divide 0.32/8= 0.04

Step 5 : 55+0.04 = 55.04.

Step 6 : The answer is 55.04.
