Check the picture below.

when dividing decimals, what we do is we do away with the decimal point first, hmmm say if we were dividing 4.59 by 17.354, first we look at 4.59, it has two decimals, so what we do is add two zeros, or "00" to 17.354, and since 17.354 has three decimals, we add three zeros to 4.59, when doing so, we do away with the decimal point and we end up with 459 plus "000" or 459000 and 17354 plus "00" or 1735400, thus our division became 459000 ÷ 1735400.

in this case, we're dividing 4.59 by 3, well, 3 has no decimals, however 4.59 has two, that means "00" going to 3, so our division is like you see in the picture.
