Explanation:

Step1: Divide the whole number part

We first divide the whole number part of \(3.44\), which is \(3\), by \(4\). Since \(3 < 4\), we consider the next digit along with the decimal. So we can think of \(3.44\) as \(344\) hundredths.

Step2: Divide the decimal number

Now we divide \(3.44\) by \(4\). We can do this by moving the decimal point or by long division. Let's use the method of dividing each digit:
\(3.44\div4=\frac{3.44}{4}\)
We know that \(3\div4 = 0\) with a remainder of \(3\). Bring down the \(4\) to make it \(34\) tenths. \(34\div4 = 8\) with a remainder of \(2\) (because \(4\times8 = 32\), \(34 - 32=2\)). Then bring down the next \(4\) to make it \(24\) hundredths. \(24\div4 = 6\). So putting it together, we have \(0.86\).
Mathematically, \(\frac{3.44}{4}=0.86\)

Answer:

\(0.86\)
