To divide multi-digit decimals, it is okay to keep a decimal in the dividend and the divisor.
To divide multi-digit decimals, you need to keep the decimal in both the dividend and the divisor.
First, write the division problem just like any other long division problem, with the dividend (the number you are dividing) outside the division symbol and the divisor (the number you are dividing by) inside the division symbol.
Next, you want to make sure both the dividend and the divisor have the same number of decimal places. If the dividend doesn't have any decimal places, you can add a decimal point followed by zeros to the right of the digits. For example, if the dividend is 25, you can write it as 25.0.
If the divisor doesn't have any decimal places, you can add a decimal point followed by zeros to the right of the digits. For example, if the divisor is 5, you can write it as 5.0.
Now, you are ready to perform the long division. Divide as you normally would, bringing down digits from the dividend and performing the division for each step. Remember to keep the decimal point aligned in each step.
Once you have completed the division, the quotient will have the same number of decimal places as the dividend and the divisor.
So, to answer the question, it is necessary to keep a decimal in both the dividend and the divisor when dividing multi-digit decimals.
