Decimal divisions are such divisions where we do not stop with a remainder and continue dividing until we reach 0 as the remainder or arrive at the same remainder again.
The important part of a decimal division is that the decimal point is marked when the divisor is greater than the divisor. Note that after adding a decimal, we can add zeros to the remainder in each step to make it divisible.
