| For the divisor (\(0.8\)) the point is dropped, so the divisor (\(24.064\)) moves the point to the right by \(1\) digit. \(24.064: 0.8 = 240.64: 8 = 30.08\) | |
For the divisor (\(0.33\)) the point is dropped, so in the dividend, the point is moved to the right by \(2\) digits (if point disappears, add zero at the end). \(115.5: 0.33 = 11550 33 = 350\) | |
In the divisor (\(55.5\)) the point is dropped. so in the dividend, the point is moved to the right by \(1\) digit. \(61.6605: 55.5 = 616.605: 555=1.111\) |
