You can identify that the numbers given in the exercise are Decimal numbers.

You can set up the following division:

Follow these steps to solve the division:

1. Move the decimal point of the Divisor two spaces to the right, in order to get it as a Whole number.

2. Move the decimal point of the Dividend two spaces to the right too.

So you get that :


3739.2/9

3. Take the first two digits of the Divident and find a number that when you multiply it by 9 gives you 37 or a number closer to that value. This would be 4. Write in the Quotient section and write the product below the digits and subtract them.

5. Bring down the next digit, which is 3 ,an apply the same procedure. Do the same with the digit 9.

6. When you bring down the digit 2, which is the first digit after the decimal point, you must write the decimal point next to the corresponding digit in the Quotient section and then apply the same procedure.

Then:

The result rounded to the nearest hundreth is:


\approx415.47
