You should find it useful for different subtopics in math in the future, too.
Go there and click on Numbers.
Then click on Decimals Menu.
Then scroll down until you find the link to Dividing Decimals.

Of course! I'd be happy to explain step by step how to divide decimals.
Here's an example to illustrate the process:
Let's divide 3.75 by 0.5.
Step 1: Write down the division problem.
3.75 ÷ 0.5
Step 2: If the divisor (0.5) is not a whole number, move the decimal point to the right until it becomes a whole number. In this case, we move the decimal point one place to the right, making the divisor 5.
3.75 ÷ 5
Step 3: Divide the first digit of the dividend (3) by the divisor (5). Write the quotient above the division bar.
3.75 ÷ 5
0
Step 4: Multiply the quotient (0) by the divisor (5), and write the product below the first digit of the dividend.
3.75 ÷ 5
0
-
0
Step 5: Subtract the product from the first digit of the dividend.
3.75 ÷ 5
0
-
0
______
3
Step 6: Bring down the next digit of the dividend (7) next to the remainder (3) to form a new dividend.
3.75 ÷ 5
0
-
0
______
37
Step 7: Divide the new dividend (37) by the divisor (5). Write the new quotient above the division bar.
3.75 ÷ 5
0

0
______
37
7
Step 8: Multiply the new quotient (7) by the divisor (5), and write the product below the 37.
3.75 ÷ 5
0

______

Step 9: Subtract the product (35) from the new dividend (37).
3.75 ÷ 5

Step 10: Bring down the next digit of the dividend (5) next to the remainder (2) to form a new dividend.
3.75 ÷ 5

Step 11: Divide the new dividend (25) by the divisor (5). Write the new quotient above the division bar.
3.75 ÷ 5

Step 12: Multiply the new quotient (5) by the divisor (5), and write the product below the 25.
3.75 ÷ 5

______

Step 13: Subtract the product (25) from the new dividend (25).
3.75 ÷ 5

______

Step 14: Since there is no more digit left in the dividend, and the remainder is zero, the division is complete. The quotient is 0.75.
3.75 ÷ 5 = 0.75
So, dividing 3.75 by 0.5 gives us a quotient of 0.75.
I hope this step-by-step explanation was clear! Let me know if you have any further questions.
