Dividing Decimals: Step-by-Step Examples

What is the first step in dividing decimals using long division?

• Move the decimal point in the divisor to the right

• Bring down the next number

• Subtract the product from the dividend

• Multiply the divisor by the quotient

What do we do after adjusting the decimal point in the divisor?

• Subtract the divisor from the dividend

• Adjust the decimal point in the dividend in the same way

• Multiply the divisor by the quotient

• Bring down the next number

How do we adjust the dividend after moving the decimal point in the divisor?

• No adjustment needed

• Multiply by 10

• Subtract the divisor

• Add a trailing zero

Why do we adjust the decimal points before dividing?

• To make the divisor larger

• To simplify the division process

• No specific reason

• To increase the dividend

How many times does 25 go into 260?

• 10 times

• 104 times

• 1 time

• 4 times

What is the remainder after the first division step?

• 0

• 25

• 10

• 1

What happens if there's a remainder after dividing?

• The process is complete

• The remainder is ignored

• Add a trailing zero to the dividend and continue

• The division is incorrect

What is the final quotient of 260 divided by 25?

• 25

• 10.4

• 10

• 104

What is the correct placement of the decimal point in the quotient?

• After the last digit

• Before the first digit

• No decimal point is needed

• Between the first and second digit

After adjusting the decimals and dividing, what is the next step?

• Repeat the process

• End the division

• Check the remainder

• Place the decimal in the quotient
