Place the decimal point directly above the decimal point in the dividend and divide. \[ 0 . 2 3 \longdiv { 0 . 4 1 \wedge 4 } \] instructor

Step 1 ：The question is asking us to perform a division operation between two decimal numbers. The dividend is 0.23 and the divisor is 0.414. We need to place the decimal point directly above the decimal point in the dividend and then perform the division operation.

Step 2 ：Perform the division operation: \(\frac{0.23}{0.414}\)

Step 3 ：The quotient of the division operation is approximately 0.556. This is the result of dividing 0.23 by 0.414.

Step 4 ：The final answer is \(\boxed{0.556}\).
