There are several ways such as
255
/ 7
First put it in the decimal equation
Since there is a decimal in the number being divided(255.5), you move the decimal so that it is a whole number(2555) but since you move the decimal place once, you do the same to the 7 so that it is now 70. So now it's 2555/70 which looks like 365 but then, you have to place the decimal value so that it is now 36.5
This is what you use to divide as shown.
