Introduction to Long Division to Decimal Places
Long division is a technique used to divide one number by another number. The dividend (the number being divided) is divided by the divisor (the number doing the dividing) and the quotient (the result of this division) is written down. The remainder (the number left over after the division is complete) is also written down.
For example, to divide 142 by 5, the steps would be as follows:
142 ÷ 5 = 28.4
Write down the quotient (28.4) and the remainder (2.6).
142 ÷ 5 = 28.4
2.6
The answer is 28.4 with a remainder of 2.6.
Long Division to Decimal Steps
To divide a number by 10, move the decimal point one place to the right. To divide a number by 100, move the decimal point two places to the right. To divide a number by 1000, move the decimal point three places to the right.
For example, to divide the number 123 by 10, move the decimal point one place to the right, and the answer is 12.3. To divide the number 123 by 100, move the decimal point two places to the right, and the answer is 1.23. To divide the number 123 by 1000, move the decimal point three places to the right, and the answer is 0.123.
Long Division to Decimal When Divisor is Not a Whole Number
When the divisor is not a whole number, the long division process becomes a bit more complicated. To divide a number by a decimal, first divide the number by the whole number portion of the decimal and write the answer down. Then, divide the number by the decimal portion of the decimal and write the answer down. Keep doing this until you reach zero. The final answer is the sum of all the answers from dividing by the decimal portion of the decimal.
Here is an example:
Divide 9.56 by 0.5
9.56 / 0.5 = 19.12
19.12 / 0.5 = 38.24
38.24 / 0.5 = 76.48
76.48 / 0.5 = 153.96
153.96 / 0.5 = 307.92
307.92 / 0.5 = 615.84
615.84 / 0.5 = 1231.68
The final answer is 1231.68.
Long Division 3 Examples With Solutions

153 ÷ 7 = 21.9
Points to Remember
:
1. The hypothalamus is responsible for controlling the body’s autonomic nervous system, which regulates heart rate, blood pressure, and other involuntary functions.
2. The hypothalamus also controls the pituitary gland, which secretes hormones that regulate many other body functions.
3. The hypothalamus is especially important in regulating the body’s response to stress.
