Question:
When dividing, when they came to the part where they needed a decimal, did they just stop (since they didn't use decimals at the time)??

"Although this is very close to the idea of adding a decimal point and writing fractions as decimal fractions, it took nearly a thousand years before a Syrian mathematician figured it out."

Where's all Leibniz, Einstein, and all of them. Did they just stop, or give up. So they made the foundations of math, and then people from other countries made it simpler and everything. Hmm. Okay. And the wooden Abacus tool looks so complicated. I think I had one of those when I was younger. I didn't know it was actually for math. I was playing with it the wrong way, but thats cool.
