Dividing 2 Digit Decimals By A Decimal Whole Number Quotients Practice Activities
Class 6 decimals division worksheets for practising decimal divided by decimal problems that give whole-number quotients.
Practice that builds confidence
What children learn
These Class 6 maths worksheets help children divide decimal numbers by decimal divisors when the answer is a whole number, such as 4.8 ÷ 0.6 = 8. Learners practise using place value, moving decimal points correctly, and checking whether the quotient is reasonable.
The printable activities contain focused decimal division sums, mixed practice, and answer-friendly layouts for written working. They are useful for strengthening the link between decimals, equivalent multiplication facts, and whole-number quotients.
In this Decimals Division skill, children work with division expressions where both the dividend and divisor include decimals, but the quotient is a whole number. For example, 6.3 ÷ 0.9 can be understood as “how many 0.9s are in 6.3?” This builds confidence before moving to decimal quotients and longer multi-step decimal operations.
Concept progression
The practice moves from recognising place value to making an equivalent division without a decimal divisor. Children learn that multiplying both numbers by the same power of 10 keeps the quotient unchanged: 4.8 ÷ 0.6 becomes 48 ÷ 6. They then solve using familiar whole-number division and place the answer as a whole number. The key vocabulary includes dividend, divisor, quotient, decimal point, tenths, hundredths, and equivalent division.
Parent practice routine
At home, ask your child to read the sum aloud first. Then have them identify how many places the divisor must move to become a whole number. They should move the decimal point in the dividend by the same number of places, solve the new division, and check using multiplication. A short routine such as “shift both, divide, multiply back” helps prevent guessing.
Classroom and revision use
Teachers can use these worksheets for guided practice after introducing decimal divisors, as independent work during maths centres, or as revision before a decimals assessment. The sums are also suitable for quick error analysis: pupils can compare two methods, spot the incorrect decimal shift, and explain why the quotient should remain unchanged.
Common errors to watch for
Some children move the decimal point only in the divisor, changing the value of the expression. Others count decimal places in the dividend instead of the divisor, or write a decimal quotient even when the division gives a whole number. Encourage estimation: 7.2 ÷ 0.8 should be near 9 because 0.8 × 9 = 7.2.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does a whole-number quotient mean in these decimal division worksheets?
It means the answer to the division is a whole number, even though the numbers being divided include decimals. For example, 4.8 ÷ 0.6 = 8.
How should a Class 6 child divide a decimal by a decimal?
They should first make the divisor a whole number by moving its decimal point, move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places, and then divide the equivalent whole-number expression.
Why do children move both decimal points in decimal division?
Moving both decimal points by the same number of places is the same as multiplying both numbers by 10, 100, or another power of 10. This keeps the quotient unchanged.
What common mistake should I watch for in this topic?
A common mistake is moving the decimal point in only the divisor. This changes the problem. Children should always adjust the dividend in the same way before dividing.
How can my child check an answer to a decimal division sum?
They can multiply the quotient by the original divisor. If the product matches the original dividend, the division is correct.
