How do you multiply and divide decimal numbers by 10 100 and 1000?
When we multiply by 10, 100 and 1000 we shift the digits to the left. One place left for 10, two places left for 100 and three places left for 1000. When we divide by 10, 100 and 1000 we do the opposite and shift the digits to the right instead.
How do you divide a decimal by 100?
To divide a whole or a decimal number by 100, move the decimal point two places to the left. Note that although a whole number does not have a decimal point, we can always add it at the end of the number. (For example, 35 and 35. are the same numbers.)
