Write the dividend and divisor in long division form
If the divisor is a decimal, move its decimal point to the right until it becomes a whole number
Move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places to the right
Add zeros to the dividend if needed
Divide as you would with whole numbers
Place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend
Bring down digits one at a time and continue dividing
Add a decimal point to the quotient if needed
Check the answer by multiplying the quotient by the divisor
