Answer:
Suppose we want to divide 3 by 2.
By Long Division we first write 1 as the first digit as the quotient, then we subtract 2 from 3, then we add a zero to the remainder 1, and then add a decimal point after the quotient 1, then write 5 after the decimal point, getting the quotient as 1.5
I know it is indeed right as we can verify. But why do we add a zero and the decimal point in the quotient?
Thank you.
Answer:
less
Step-by-step explanation:
Dividing a decimal number that is less than 1 gives a quotient that is larger than the dividend.
For example :
Take 3/0.3 :
⇒ 3 / 0.3
⇒ 10
10 is greater than the dividend 3.
