Illustration of Decimal Division Algorithm: 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.
Decimal Division Algorithm

ES 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.

Los pasos para dividir decimales: desliza el punto decimal del divisor a la derecha hasta que sea un número entero, desliza el punto del dividendo a la derecha el mismo número de lugares y luego divide.

Illustration of Equivalent division: Multiplying both numbers by 10 or 100 gives the same answer.
Equivalent division

ES División equivalente
