How do you evaluate a division problem

Answer:

Explanation:

Not wanting to be trite, i'd still suggest that you use a calculator for routine division. Round off your answer (quotient) to an appropriate number of decimal places.

For example, 2/3 comes out to 0.66666 ... (repeating decimal). You might want to round this off to 2 decimal places: 0.67.

The old fashioned "long division" is another method.

0 . 6

-----------

3 / 2 . 0 0 0

0. 0 0 0

---------------------

1. 8

and so on. You still need to round off the quotient to a suitable number of decimal places.
