___________________________________________________________

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.

Dividing Fractions

Reciprocal


To get the reciprocal of a number, just divide 1 by the number

Example: the reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 (half)

Every number has a reciprocal except 0 (1/0 is undefined)

If you multiply a number by its reciprocal you get 1

Example: 3 times 1/3 equals 1

Also called the "Multiplicative Inverse"

LCM- Least Common Multiple


LCM = 7 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 = 280
_____________________________


LCM = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 = 320

____________________________

LCM = 3 x 2 x 3 x 2 x 2 = 72
__________________________

LCM Steps      
  • Prime Factor Trees
  • Write out all Prime Factors
  • Write all of the same factors in the middle
  • Leftover factors write on  each side
  • LCM = Multiply ALL numbers in ALL of the circles together
