when dividing with demical numbers, what do i do with the remainder?
Andrew Mclaughlin
Here is the problem.
90.327 divided by 0.08
What i have completed so far for the answer is 1129.
But i cant understand how to complete it because the remainders are so difficuilt.
Please show me how to solve the rest. I really want to understand but its just so hard.

I think first remove decimal points.
$\frac{90327}{1000} × \frac{100}{8}$
= $\frac{90327}{80}$
Only divide 90327 by 8 and then shift decimal point one place forward.
You got 11290.875 and then shifting decimal point one place forward because we have 10 in denominator. We have,
= 1129.0875

Drop that 0 as you normally would, and continue the long division process, placing more zeroes after the decimal place until you no longer have a remainder.
