Whole Number Division with Decimal Answers

The video tutorial by Mr. J covers whole number division resulting in decimal answers, focusing on two-digit divisors. It provides two examples: dividing 102 by 12 and 51 by 24, demonstrating the use of decimal points and placeholder zeros to achieve precise results. The tutorial emphasizes continuing the division process until a clean zero is obtained, ensuring the answer is in decimal form.

What is the main focus of this video tutorial?
