Problem

Find the quotient \$(45.8) \div (2.3)\$.

Step

Given the problem.

\$(45.8) \div (2.3)\$

Step

Firstly, multiply the divisor by as many tens as necessary until we get a whole number. Then, multiply the dividend by the same number of tens.

\$(45.8) \times (10) = 458.0\$ \$(2.3)\times(10) = 23\$

Step

Place the decimal point in the quotient above the dividend’s decimal point when dividing numbers.

\$(458.0) \div (23)\$ = \$19.913\$

Step

Therefore, the quotient is.

\$19.913\$
