Start with a ready-made worksheet
Move the divisor’s decimal point enough places to make it a whole number. Move the dividend’s decimal point the same number of places, then divide the equivalent values.

What this activity builds
Scale both operands by the same power of ten and recover an exact whole-number quotient.
Worked example
What is 57.6 ÷ 2.4?
24.
Multiply both values by 10 to get 576 ÷ 24. This is 24, and the check 2.4 × 24 = 57.6 confirms the original division. The quotient is exact; no rounding step is needed.
Teaching notes
Make the practice count
- Write the same scale factor beside both operands before moving either decimal point.
- Use a multiplication check on the original values, not only the scaled calculation.

Choose two- or three-digit divisor coefficients with one or two decimal places. Scale both operands by the same power of ten, then divide. Every generated quotient in this activity is an exact whole number; arbitrary decimal quotients and rounded answers are outside its scope.
