Steps to Dividing Decimals

1. Write out the problem

2. Move the Decimals (To make the divisor a whole number)

     TO THE RIGHT

     TO THE RIGHT

     AND THEN UP

3. Divide 

4. If you have a remainder, keep adding zeros until you don't have a remainder anymore or it is repeating

__________________

NO decimal in the divisor, just move the decimal up.


_____________________________________________
If you have to move the decimal two places, but there are no more numbers, add a zero.

________________________________________________
You keep getting a remainder of one, so you keep adding zeros...... but you keep getting one, so you know it is a repeating decimal of three.

Another example of repeating decimals.
