Decimal numbers are an important section of numbers in Math. Decimal numbers can be divided with each other by placing one decimal in the numerator and the other decimal in the denominator. Dividing decimals calculator is an easy tool which can give the result for this division.
Example 1: Calculate the value after dividing the decimal number 12.4 by 0.8
Dividing the given two decimals, the expression looks like this 12.4/ 0.8
We can first convert them to whole numbers.
12.4 can be converted to a whole number by multiplying and dividing by 10.
(12.4 * 10)/ 10 è124/10
Similarly 0.8 can be converted to a whole number by multiplying and dividing by 10.
(0.8 * 10)/ 10 8/10
Now we have (124/10)/ (8/10) (124/10) * (10/8) here ’10’ cancels
124/8 = 15.5
12.4/0.8 = 15.5
Example 2: Calculate the value after dividing the decimal number 6.24 by 1.64
Dividing the given two decimals, the expression looks like this 6.24/ 1.64
We can first convert them to whole numbers.
6.24 can be converted to a whole number by multiplying and dividing by 100.
(6.24 * 100)/ 100 624/100
Similarly 1.64 can be converted to a whole number by multiplying and dividing by 100.
(1.64 * 100)/ 100 164/100
Now we have (624/100)/ (164/100) (624/100) * (100/164) here ’100’ cancels
624/ 164 = 3.805
624/ 164 = 3.805
