Long division decimal quotient
Test your understanding of long division decimal quotient by practicing it! Work through the below exercises to use it in practice.
🎙️
Let's divide 9 by 4 to a decimal quotient
🎙️
We start normally for long division. Two 8's fit into 9, leaving one.
🎙️
Now we can add a decimal point to the dividend and the quotient on top. Add any zeroes you like after the decimal
🎙️
Now we continue normally, two 4s fit into 10.
🎙️
And 5 4s fit into 20.
🎙️
So our answer is 2.25
