Just move the decimal point twice on each number to the right. EXP: 896/40

Answer: Actual Answer is 22.4 but below is long division.

Explanation:

Change the divisor 0.4 to a whole number by moving the decimal point 1 places to the right. Then move the decimal point in the dividend the same, 1 places to the right.

We then have the equations:

89.6 ÷ 4 = 22.400000

and therefore:

8.96 ÷ 0.4 = 22.400000

Both calculated to 6 decimal places.
