Divide 4 digit number by 1 digit number resulting in decimal answer

We have looked at some division problems with numbers in the hundreds, where a decimal answer is needed. Now we can look at problems that have numbers in the thousands, and solve them using many of the same processes.

In Video 1, you can see we have a remainder, which we write as a fraction. So, if we are solving $2303$2303 divided by $4$4, we would express our remainder as $\frac{3}{4}$34​. Next, we find an equivalent fraction in tenths or hundredths, and then we can express that as a decimal. This process is what we do each time we have a remainder to write as a decimal.

In our second video, we look at short division, which is just another way to solve our division problem. In our example, we can't share our units out evenly, so we see just how important our zero place holder is. We can then look at our remainder as a fraction, and use an equivalent fraction in hundredths, which then allows us to write our remainder as a decimal.
