I Am Trying To Divied1.60 By0.6 And Need The Formula To Work This Out, Can You Help?

Move each decimal to the right and divide 16 by 6. How many times does 6 go into 16? The answer is two times, so write down 2. Then subtract 2 times 6 from 16 to get the remainder: 4. (2 time 6 is 12, subtract that from 16) Move the decimal on the remainder to the right, giving 40, and ask "how many times does 6 go into 40?" The answer is 6, so write down the 6 after the 2 from above. (26 so far) Multiply 6 time 6 and subtract that from 40, giving 5 once again. (6 times 6 is 36, subtracted from 40 is 4) Move the decimal to the right to give 40 and do it all again. As you can see, the sixes will repeat forever, so the answer 2.66666666.... Why did I put the decimal point there? Think about it, if you estimate it in your head you'll see that 16 divided by 6 is approximately 2, so I put the decimal point where it would make sense. There's a more pragmatic way of doing this, but estimation is easier. Summary:
1. Call the number that you are dividing into the "Dividend"
2. Call the number you are dividing by the "Divisor" Go ahead and move the decimal to the right enough to get rid of any fractional part.
3. The divisor should go into the dividend at least one time but less than ten. If it does not, then move the decimal point in the dividend until it does.
4. How many times does the divisor go into the dividend? (1 to 9) Write this down and call it the "quotient"
5. Multiply this new quotient digit times the divisor and subtract it from the dividend. Call that the "remainder"
6. Subtract the remainder from the dividend and make that the new dividend. If it is zero, then you're done. (except for placing the decimal point)
7. Move the decimal point in the dividend to the right one place. (This is the same as multiplying it by 10).
8. Go back to 4 and do it again. (Unless you've already looped so many times that you're getting suicidal)
9. Estimate the answer by looking at the original dividend and divisor and use that estimate to place the decimal point into the quotient - the result.
It's a lot of work, but after a while it comes easy. (If you believe that...)
5. Multiply the divisor by the quotient and
