Dividing decimals worksheets
Dividing a decimal by a whole number keeps the point exactly where it is. These free printable worksheets divide cleanly every time, so an answer that will not come out is a signal rather than a normal outcome.

What's on this sheet
14.46 ÷ 3 is worked exactly like 1446 ÷ 3, with the point in the answer sitting directly above the point in the question. Nothing has to move and nothing has to be counted, which makes this the easier of the two decimal operations and a good place to start.
Why this sheet works
Dividing by ten, a hundred or a thousand appears here too, and it is worth treating as a different thing entirely. 92.6 ÷ 10 = 9.26 because every digit moves one place to the right — not because a point slides along, which is the same idea described in a way that stops working the moment the numbers get harder.
How this one works
One question from this sheet, worked through a step at a time.
92.60 ÷ 10
92.60÷10
92.60÷10=9.26
9.26×10=92.60
- The number you are dividing by is already whole, so there is nothing to move: divide as usual and the point in the answer comes straight down.
- Now divide: 92.60 ÷ 10 = 9.26.
- Check it the other way round: 9.26 × 10 should give 92.60 back. A point in the wrong place fails this instantly — 92.60 and a tenth of it are not close.
