How would I divide the remainder in a long division problem.

OpenStudy (goho2838):

My teacher says that we have to in some like decimal problems to be exact right on the dot on the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That doesn't make sense but I'm guessing you want to have it in decimal places. If you're asking about getting decimal places when dividing in a long division problem, you add add a zero.

OpenStudy (goho2838):

Then you bring down the number right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You add a zero to the remainder

OpenStudy (goho2838):

Then you basically repeat the regular process and if there is still a remainder then repeat the process till you finally get the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then continue doing what you normally do. Yeah exactly. You got it mate. Well Done.

I'm just checking because I have a math test tomorrow in 5th grade

OpenStudy (goho2838):

Thanks I just wanted to make sure

OpenStudy (goho2838):

They only taught us that one method and since we only learned that method that method would work on everything question that is needed but those questions are probably going to be on the B part anyway(none graded part for teaching information).

OpenStudy (goho2838):

I'll go get my study guide one second

OpenStudy (goho2838):

I think this might be one 4/415.2

OpenStudy (goho2838):

It might not be though I'm not sure

OpenStudy (goho2838):

Yes they haven't taught us that method I think they think that long division is the best way.

OpenStudy (goho2838):

Yeah like we don't rewrite it that's what I mean

OpenStudy (goho2838):

One last question could you should me like decimal remainder one in regular long division method

OpenStudy (goho2838):

Yeah we usually do it in a decimal or fraction according to the situation.

OpenStudy (goho2838):

I got it now THANKS very much
