How do you divide decimals?

You move the decimal how ever many times it takes to make it a whole number, but you have to do the same to the other number even if the other number doesn't have a decimal in it. For example 6.78 divided by 45. You would move the decimal spot twice to make 6.78 into 678. Then you have to move the "decimal place" in 45. This will then make it 4500

To divide by decimals, put the decimal right where it is above it, and you just do regular dividing
