...foregoing elucidations, we derive the following general directions for dividing decimals : 1. Divide as in whole numbers and point off as many decimal places...those in the dividend exceed those in the divisor. 2. When there is a remainder, annex naughts to the dividend and carry the work as far as may be desired.... | |
