Your idea of using three different examples is GENIUS!...My schoolwork only gives me one example then throws a totally different problem at me like I can learn it in 3 seconds! Thanks for walking me through! They should make edu. books in the future with video tutorials!

[@mrman26]

I was able to ace both college algebra and college calculus at my highly ranked undergraduate institution. I am now in my third year of law school, and planning to take the GMAT for an MBA. Unfortunately, I have totally forgotten how to divide decimals (thanks to the overuse of my calculator and the complete absence of math in law school). I'm glad to be able to find such well-done videos to help refresh my memory. Your explanations are clear, and easy to follow. Thanks!

[@patrickjmt]

i did not know if anyone would be interested in this... but i am glad i posted it now : ) i will make quite a few more soon i think : )

[@josephminick9917]

Thanks for posting these videos! They are fantastic! I'm brushing up for an exam that won't allow calculators and I haven't had to use these skills in 15 years. You are methodical and patient in your teaching. I hope you make a billion dollars doing this!

[@alan888]

WOW, i truly suck @ math and have had 100's of people teach me since i was a kid, and i have never seen someone explain it so smoothly and simple as you Mr. PatrickJMT, im practicing "Arithmetic reasoning" for my ASVAB test next month, im defenitily gonna continue watching your videos!! Thanks a million!!

[@profanimation]

I'm 47 and I just learned how to do long division approximately 8 minutes before my son! Parental omnipotence intact. Nice one patrickJMT

[@captianchaoz1972]

This multiplied my brain cells, and thus am smarter now, thanks.

[@patrickjmt]

not sure why people are freaking out over this video... i have had a few emails recently asking me to do one, so i did. just chill out everyone... they are just free math videos, on the internet... that no one is forcing you to watch

[@MicroTex23]

I couldn't agree with you more, I am personal tutor myself and it is the most common subject matter that gets young kids confuse..long division and division that involves decimal. Sometimes I turn the decimal into a fraction or show them the easier way in which you are doing it. Love your videos on various math topic. Peace

[@patrickjmt]

@Tupacbldz remind me in a few weeks. headed back to usa in one week and i plan on making lots of new videos a couple of weeks later

[@cras17]

I have a bachelor of Science in Chemistry but had forgotten how to help my sister with her long division, lol. Thanks. I think this is even easier than the way I learned it years ago!

[@ch3rchas]

I remember learning this in grade 6 or so. I'm 21 now and I am actually having fun doing this again! You rock, keep on doing what your doing

[@patrickjmt]

sweet, thanks for the kind words. i have never really taught 'the basics' so i am not sure if my explanations still work,but people seem to like it for the most part, so that is good! good luck to your little girls

[@TheWwFfan]

You are the best math teacher I know you explain it very clearly

[@patrickjmt]

@alan888 glad the vid helped!

[@musicgirl999]

thanks for posting these! I'm taking the math portion of the accuplacer test on friday morning!

[@mypinkdollprincess]

I wish my teacher taught me like this in 3rd grade! You have a way of making things clear and simple. Anyway, just lurking around and watching your stuff. Keep up the great work! Have a lovely day(:-

[@gingerarc122]

Thanks! I have my Math exam tomorrow. Really helped! :)

[@patrickjmt]

@cowninja no, i would say it is normal for many people

[@s404n1tn0cc]

thanks JMT And for you patients and dedication.

[@ToadWonglers]

life saver!!!!!!!!!! i have to take the civil service exam and i forget all of this

[@patrickjmt]

@timebreaker123 you should make some videos and save the world from my crappy explanations. what a great service it would be to hear your profound utterances

[@patrickjmt]

better late than never. and nothing wrong with learning from the internet; we are all the first generation of what is going to be the norm

[@Syruscleat]

Awesome grade school refresher. Thanks!

[@1Helper911]

i am doin math HW right now and it is still Christmas break and i decided to do my HW on the last week so i forgot how to do this but now thanks to your vid i now know how to divide decimals so anyways thanks a lot

[@Circumstances6]

Awesome!! 2019 and I still remember to visit PatrickJmt when I'm stuck with Math. Thank you!!

[@caliswang]

wow great way to explain it, i've never seen it done that way, good job on the vids and keep them up i will watch them all!

[@chocolateclown]

Thank you for posting this video! I never really understood this and I'm in Algebra so I figured that I better figure this out soon! Thank you so much; it really helped. :)

[@EwBriii]

Excellent video (and very neat!) Cleared stuff up for me.

[@vinnysehgal1103]

Thanks dude...it really helped me for my test!

[@cleanzodiac6247]

Absolute genius, beautiful man.

[@patrickjmt]

i have yet to make videos about anything difficult, so i am not sure what you refer to

[@patrickjmt]

well, i already have newtons method, centroids and the shell/disk/washer method covered in some videos

[@SnoweLockheart]

Nice! It's good to have review once in a while... Keep it up! And really, not all of us do remember this stuff.. so thanks for reminding us all on how to divide decimals :) It might come handy sometimes :) For instance, you forgot to bring you calculator haha, imo calculators are the culprit on why people, like me, don't remember how to do this kind of stuffs.. calculator makes everything easier..

[@Arycke]

Hello Mr. patrickJMT, might I suggest some video ideas? Maybe a video on Fundamental Lemma, some of Ramanujan's work, Newton's method, Shell/Disk/Washer method, or Centroids, just suggestions :) I really enjoy all of your videos, you explain things very clearly, very well/in depth, and you have a very diverse selection of videos :)
