This clip states that "mathematicians never divide by decimals. If the divisor is a decimal, they change it to a whole number." The clip then explains how this is done, with the divisor multiplied by some power of ten to become a whole number and the dividend then multiplied by the same amount. "Like two dancers in a chorus line," the clip states, "they move the same amount in the same direction." The clip also explains that, if the dividend doesn't have enough decimal places to accommodate the move to the right, "...all we need to do is fill in the empty spaces with zeros."
