1Decimal Division Algorithm
2The Structural Procedure
- Make the divisor a whole number: slide its decimal point to the right
- Slide the dividend's decimal point to the right the same number of places
- Write the answer's decimal point in the column directly above the dividend's point, then divide as whole numbers using Divide → Multiply → Subtract → Bring Down
3Mathematical Word Bank
- Divide Decimals (Dividir decimales) — Find a quotient with decimals by sliding both decimal points right until the divisor is a whole number.
- Dividend (Dividendo) — The total number being divided into equal groups (the number inside the division bracket).
- Divisor (Divisor) — The number of equal groups you are dividing into (the number outside the division bracket).
- Quotient (Cociente) — The answer when you divide.
- Decimal Division Algorithm (Algoritmo de división decimal) — The steps for dividing decimals: slide the divisor's decimal point right until the divisor is a whole number, slide the dividend's point right the same number of places, then divide.
- Equivalent division (División equivalente) — Multiplying both numbers by 10 or 100 gives the same answer.
4Watch out
- A common mistake in Divide Decimals is moving the decimal point in the divisor but forgetting to move it the same number of places in the dividend. For example, in 6.4 ÷ 0.8 a student changes 0.8 to 8 but leaves the dividend as 6.4, then divides 6.4 ÷ 8 = 0.8 instead of moving both points to get 64 ÷ 8 = 8. A second version of this mistake happens when the divisor has two decimal places, like 0.12: students move both points only 1 place instead of 2, turning 9.6 ÷ 0.12 into 96 ÷ 1.2 instead of the correct 960 ÷ 12. Count the divisor's decimal places first, then move BOTH points that same number of places.
