To divide a decimal number by a two-digit number, follow this method.
Example
Work out 50.4 ÷ 14
Answer
It helps to know the multiples of 14 up to the numbers you need:
14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84
Then carry out the division.
We know that 50 ÷ 14 = 3 remainder 8 as 3 x 14 = 42
This gives us 84 ÷ 14 = 6 with no remainder.
We mustn't forget to line up the decimal point in the answer with its position in the calculation.
50.4 ÷ 14 = 3.6
Shall we have a go at some questions now?
