Step 2) Start the long division problem exactly as if it were a non-decimal problems.

Step 3) Put the decimal point into the quotient (answer line) exactly above where it is in the dividend.

Step 4) Bring the next digit down.

Step 5) Continue until there is no remainder, or until you get repeated digits.

Let's look at some examples...
