To perform long division with \( 3.6 \) by \( 2 \), we can treat \( 3.6 \) as \( 36 \) (by moving the decimal point one place to the right) and keep track of how many places we need to move it back later.
Here’s how the long division process works:
1. **Divide**
- \( 2 \) into \( 3 \) goes \( 1 \) time. Write \( 1 \) above the line.
2. **Multiply**
- \( 1 \times 2 = 2 \). Write \( 2 \) below \( 3 \).
3. **Subtract**
- \( 3 - 2 = 1 \). Write \( 1 \) below the line.
4. **Bring down**
- Now bring down the \( 6 \) (from \( 3.6 \)), making it \( 16 \).
5. **Divide again**
- \( 2 \) into \( 16 \) goes \( 8 \) times. Write \( 8 \) above the line next to \( 1 \).
6. **Multiply**
- \( 8 \times 2 = 16 \). Write \( 16 \) below \( 16 \).
7. **Subtract**
- \( 16 - 16 = 0 \).
Now we've finished the long division process.
Since we moved the decimal point one place to the right, we need to place the decimal point in our answer.
Thus, \( 3.6 \div 2 = 1.8 \).
Therefore, the final answer is \( 1.8 \).
