Dividing Decimals by a Whole Number 3.6 ÷ 3
2
To solve this problem you ALWAYS put the first number IN the box.
Step 1: 3.6 ÷ 3 To solve this problem you ALWAYS put the first number IN the box. 3 6 3
3
Bring the decimal straight up and put on the line of the bracket
Step 2: 3.6 ÷ 3 Bring the decimal straight up and put on the line of the bracket 3 6 3
4
Step 3: See if the divisor can go into the first number of the dividend. If it can then divide. 1 3 6 3
5
Step 4: 1 2 Multiply, then subtract the numbers. Bring down the next number in the dividend and see how many times the divisor can go into the number. Multiply, then subtract the numbers. If you get a zero and don’t have numbers left to bring down, you are done. 3 6 3 -3 0 6 - 6 0 0
6
Step 5: 4 -3 2 -2 8 0 1 0 - 8 2 0 -2 0 If you have a remainder, then you add zeros to the dividend and bring it down. See how many times the divisor will go into the number. Keep going until you end with a zero or the quotient starts to repeat.
