(ii) Add as many zeroes to the dividend.

(iii) Remove the decimal in the divisor.

(iv) Divide as usual.

Let us consider some of the examples:

(i) 42 ÷ 0.7

Solution:

42 ÷ 0.7

= 420 ÷ 7

Therefore, 42 ÷ 0.7 = 60

(ii) 441 ÷ 0.21

Solution:

441 ÷ 0.21

44100 ÷ 21

Therefore, 441 ÷ 0.21 = 2100

(iii) 8133 ÷ 0.003

Solution:

8133 ÷ 0.003

8133000 ÷ 3

Therefore, 8133 ÷ 0.003 = 2711000

(iv) 48 ÷ 1.92

Solution:

48 ÷ 1.92

4800 ÷ 192

Therefore, 48 ÷ 1.92 = 25

(v) 722 ÷ 1.444

Solution:

722 ÷ 1.444

722000 ÷ 1444

Therefore, 722 ÷ 1.444 = 500
