By a whole number: Use Division or Long Division (ignoring the decimal point) Then put the decimal point in the same spot as the dividend (also know as number being divided)

If the divisor is not a whole number, move decimal point to right to make it a whole number and move decimal point in dividend the same number of places.

Divide as usual.

Put decimal point directly above decimal point in the dividend.
