I know this may sound stupid but how do you know to add 0 and keep dividing? When you get 4, how do you know that is the end? Why don't you add 0 to 40 and divide again by 15?

What am I doing wrong with this division
561/15

My ans 37.6? I know this is incorrect on calculator it is 37.4

My working out:

56/15 is 3 with 11 remaining

111/15 is 7 with 6 remaining.

I like doing division in standard manner and layout rather than rounding up or using factors etc.
