Consider the following scenarios:

*You spend $31.22 on gas, whose price is $3.29/gal. You want to know how many gallons you bought.
*You have $1000 and want to exchange to a different currency.
*You are writing software that can find the quotient of two decimals to arbitrary precision (the algorithm is more advanced though; one technique uses Newton's method).
