Dividing Decimals and Long Division

The video tutorial covers long division with decimals through three examples. It begins with dividing 34.5 by 15, explaining the steps of division, multiplication, subtraction, and bringing down numbers. The second example involves dividing 145.6 by 2.6, demonstrating how to handle decimals in the divisor by shifting them. The final example tackles a larger number, 3805.84 divided by 45.2, reinforcing the process of adjusting decimals and performing division. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of maintaining decimal accuracy throughout the calculations.
