Example: Divide 0.539 by 0.11

Hello everyone; check this example that will help you understand better. It is taken from www.mathisfun.com 

Move the decimal point so the divisor (0.11) is a whole number:

move 2 spaces
0.539		5.39		53.9
0.11		1.1		11
move 2 spaces

But what about 53.9? It still has a decimal point.

Well, we can ignore the decimal point in the dividend so long as we remember to put it back later. First we do the calculation without the decimal point:

049 11)539      0      53      44       99       99        0

Now put the decimal point in the answer directly above the decimal point in the dividend:

04.9 11)53.9

The answer is 4.9
