Divide:
$$ 0.768 \quad by \quad 16 $$
We perform the division by considering the dividend and divisor a whole number.
When the division in this form is complete.
we, subtract number of decimal points in dividend from number of decimal point in divisor. and that many decimal points we put in quotient of division.
So, we have,
$$ 0.768 \div 16 $$
Now, we will do division $$768\div 16$$
$$768\div16=\cfrac{768}{16}=48$$
Decimal points in dividend=$$3$$
Decimal points in divisor=$$0$$
subtraction=$$3-0=3$$
So, we will put $$3$$ decimal points in our answer $$48$$
$$\therefore 0.768 \quad by \quad 16 =0.048$$
