How to divide number into decimal fraction

Difference of decimal fraction from usual fractions is its denominator - it is always equal to ten in any positive degree. It makes easier rules of mathematical operations in which integers and decimal fractions are involved.

Instruction

1. If it is necessary to divide an integer into decimal fraction in a column, then it is necessary to begin with reduction of a dividend (that is fractions) to an integer. For this purpose at first attribute to divisible (integer) on the right side the number of zero equal to number of categories after a comma in a divider. Then remove a comma from a divider. Received in such a way two the whole (natural) numbers share in the usual way.

2. If it is enough to know the result of division of number into decimal fraction, and a way which it will be made, does not matter, then it is possible to use the online calculator of the Google search engine, for example. That to make it, pass to the website of the searcher and print in the entry field the corresponding mathematical operation instead of a search query. For example, if it is required to divide number 84,523 into decimal fraction 3.14159265 (Pi's number), then enter "84523/3.14159265". The search engine will make calculation and will present result (26904.5065) at once, without pressing of the button of sending request for the server.

3. If there is no Internet access, then it is possible to use any calculator including available in the Windows operating system. It is started from the OS main menu - click the Start-up button (or press the WIN key), pass into the section "All Programs", open its subsection "Standard", find and click the line "Calculator". There is other way of access to programs - through start dialogue. Having opened the menu on the Start-up button, select the Execute item or press a combination of the keys WIN + R. Make the calc team in the field of dialogue and click the OK button. As a result you will see the interface of the calculator most of which of buttons duplicates the corresponding buttons of the keyboard on the screen. All operations can be carried out both clicking the interface button a mouse, and pressing the keyboard buttons compared to them.

4. Enter divisible (integer), then press a division operation key - a virgule ("slash"). Then enter a divider and press an equal-sign. The calculator will calculate and will present you result of division.
