ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION OF DECIMALS
DECIMALS:
The word decimal means “ordered by tens.”
TO ADD OR SUBTRACT DECIMALS:
1) Line up the decimal points vertically. Fill in any 0's where

necessary.
2) Add or subtract the numbers as if they were whole numbers.
3) Place the decimal point in the sum or difference so that it lines
up vertically with the numbers being added or subtracted.

ESTIMATED VALUES:
1. To estimate the sum of two or more addends, round the
addends to their highest place values, then add them.

2) 8.2 + 7.15 + 6.129

MULTIPLACATION OF DECIMALS
REMEMBER!
 Multiply decimals in the same way whole numbers are
multiplied.
 The number of decimal places in the product is equal to the
total number of decimal places in the factors.
 To multiply a decimal number by a power of ten, move the
decimal point one place to the right for each zero in the power
of ten. If there is not enough digits, append zeros to the right of
the decimal.

DIVISION OF DECIMALS
Dividing Decimals with Whole Numbers
Dividing decimals by whole numbers is similar to

normal division.
Example: Divide 338.56 ÷ 23

Step 1: First, write the division in the standard

form. Start by dividing the whole number part by
the divisor.
Step 2: Place the decimal point in the quotient
above the decimal point of the dividend. Bring
down the tenth digit.
Step 3: Divide and bring down the other digit in
sequence. Divide until 0 is obtained in the
remainder. Thus, the decimal in the quotient is
placed according to the decimal in the dividend.
Divide 458.555 by 25
Divide 554.6 by 50
Divide 372.57 by 25
Divide 372.57 by 12
Divide 5 682.25 by 125

Divide 7 162.545 by 15
Divide 162.546 by 12
Divide 1 950.552 by 12
Divide 5 961.28 by 13
Dividing Decimals by
Decimals
For dividing decimals by another

decimal, we need to convert the
divisor into a whole number
and then continue the
division. Let us understand the
conditions and rules for this
method using an example.
Example: Divide 48.65 ÷ 3.5

Dividing Decimals by Decimals
Example: Divide 1 114.125 by 12.5

Example: Divide 986.445 by 1.25








Example: Divide 3 151.629 by 12.3

• To divide a decimal number by 10, 100, or1000, we
simply move the decimal point of the dividend to as many
places to the left as there are zeros.
• To divide a decimal number by 0.1, 0.01 or 0.001, simply

move the decimal points of the divisor and the dividend
to as many places to the right until the divisor becomes a
whole number.
a) Divide 3 151.629 by 10.

b) Divide 3 151.629 by 100.
c) Divide 3 151.629 by 1000.
d) Divide 3 151.629 by 0.001.
e) Divide 3 151.629 by 0.1.
f) Divide 3 151.629 by 0.01.
g) Divide 3 151.629 by 0.0001.
h) Divide 3 151.629 by 1000 000.
i) Divide 3 1.125 by 0.000 001.
