When we divide two whole numbers using long division, we often get a remainder. In this lesson, we will learn how to use long division to express the quotient and remainder as a decimal.
To illustrate, let's compute We start by writing down using long division notation:
Notice that is less than the divisor But we can proceed further by adding a after the decimal point in the dividend. We also add a decimal point in the quotient, as shown below:
Now we complete the division, as usual, stopping once we obtain a remainder of
Therefore,
Calculate the value of

Notice that the remainder is less than the divisor , but we can proceed further by adding a after the decimal point in the dividend. We also add a decimal point in the quotient, as shown below:
Now we complete the division, as usual, adding more zeros as needed but stopping once we obtain a remainder of

Cameron spent in five days. If she spent an equal amount each day, how much did Cameron spend per day?
To determine the amount Cameron spent each day, we need to divide by
We start by going through the long division procedure as usual:
Notice that the remainder is less than the divisor But we can proceed further by adding a after the decimal point in the dividend. We also add a decimal point in the quotient, as shown below:
Now we complete the division, as usual, stopping once we obtain a remainder of
Therefore,
We conclude that Cameron spent each day.
