 Hi and welcome to the session today we will learn about division of decimal numbers. To learn the division of decimal numbers first of all we will learn the division of decimal numbers by ten hundred and thousand to divide a decimal number by ten hundred or thousand we move the decimal point in the number to the left as many places there are zeros over one to get the quotient for example let us divide fifteen point six seven by ten here in ten there is just one zero over one so in the decimal number we will move the decimal point to the left by one place so this will be equal to one point five six seven thus on dividing fifteen point six seven by ten we get one point five six seven as quotient now let us divide the decimal number three point five four by hundred here in the decimal number three point five four we will move the decimal point from here to the left by two places because in hundred there are two zeros over one so this will be equal to zero point zero three five four now let us divide the decimal number one hundred sixty four point five three by one thousand so here in one thousand there are three zeros over one so in the decimal number we will move the decimal point from here to the left by three places so this will give us zero point one six four five three as the quotient now let's see how to divide a decimal number by a whole number suppose we want to divide the decimal number sixteen point four by the whole number four for this we will follow certain steps first of all we will divide the numbers whole numbers so one hundred sixty four divided by four will be equal to forty one now in the second step place the decimal point in the quotient as in the decimal number so here in the decimal number sixteen point four there is only one digit on the right of decimal point that means in forty one we will place the decimal point in such a way that there should be only one digit on the right of decimal point thus we will place the decimal point over here and we will get four point one as the quotient so sixteen point four divided by four is equal to four point one now let's move on to division of a decimal number by another decimal number we can divide a decimal number by another decimal number in two ways suppose we want to divide the decimal number three point seven five by the decimal number one point five so first of all let us see the first method of dividing this to divide three point seven five one point five first of all we will change these decimal numbers into fractional form so this will be equal to three hundred seventy five upon hundred divided by fifteen upon ten now this will be equal to three hundred seventy five upon hundred into ten upon fifteen so this will give us twenty five upon ten which will be equal to two point five thus three point seven five divided by one point five is equal to two point five now in the second method to divide three point seven five by one point five we will write it as three point seven five upon one point five now we will move the decimal point from here to the right by one place in both numerator and denominator so this will be equal to thirty seven point five upon fifteen now here fifteen is a whole number and we know how to divide a decimal number by a whole number so this will be equal to two point five thus we can divide a decimal number by another decimal number using any of these two methods with this we finish this session hope you must have understood all the concepts goodbye take care and have a nice day
