Division Patterns – Decimals Honors Math – Grade 5
Using a calculator, find the following quotients. Do you notice a pattern in the quotients? Let’s take a closer look…
To divide a decimal by 10, 100 or 1,000… Count the number of zeros in the divisor. Move the decimal point in the dividend to the leftone place for each zero. 3. Write as many zeros in the quotient as needed to place the decimal point correctly.
