Rounding Decimals When Dividing. You can divide decimals by whole numbers and use zero placeholders to find the most accurate quotient. Some quotients are so long that it is difficult to decipher the value of the decimal. Rounding the decimal number to a decimal place value would make the number easier to evaluate.

Hope this helps!
