...= Vu'jV = 34-567. Similarly, to divide a decimal by any power of 10, wo must move the decimal point as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the divisor. If there are more ciphers in the divissr than there are places in the decimal, we must prefix a sufficient...

...decimal by a decimal number, such as 10, 100, 1000, &c. is performed by merely moving the decimal point as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the decimal number. If there are not enough places in the dividend to allow of this, annex ciphers to the...

...H- 142 = * 142 = = .0257. If the divisor be an integer of the form 1000..., remove the decimal point as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the divisor. Ex. 4. 78.5 -r 10 — 7.85, 57.46 -:- 1000 = .05746. When the dividend has not so many decimal places...

...before. (8.) Q. How do you divide by 10, 100, 1000, or the like ? A. I only remove the decimal point as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the divisor ; prefixing ciphers, if necessary, to make up the number of places. (9.) Q. How do you divide any number...

...number is to be divided by 10, 100, 1000, &c., the division is made by removing* the decimal point as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the divisor ; and if there be not so many figures on the left ipf the decimal point, the deficiency must be supplied...

...+ . 4O. We may, obviously, divide any decimal by 10, 100, 1000, &c., by removing the decimal point as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the divisor ; when tb«re are not so many figures to the left of the decimal point, we may prefix ciphers. "10...

...annexed, is used as a divisor, the quotient may be represented by merely shifting the decimal point of the dividend as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the divisor. Thus, 860 -f. 100 = 860-0 -r- 100 = 8-6; 45 -f- 1000 = 45-0 4- 1000 = -045; 23-47 4- 10000 = -002347....

...cpst of 100, or 1000 articles, pounds, &c., is given, the price of one is found by simply removing the decimal point in the given cost or dividend, as many places to the left a* there are ciphers in the divisor. (Art. 331.) 28. Bought 1000 bricks for $7.20 : what is that apiece?...

...quotient carried on to any degree of exactness. 4. To divide by 10, 100, 1000 or the like, move the point as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the divisor. The quotient figure is always of the same value with that figure of the dividend, under which the units...

...cost of 100, or 1000 articles, pounds, &c., is given, the price of one is found by simply removing the decimal point in the given cost or dividend, as many...cwt. of tobacco for $565.82 : what is that per cwt. 31 cwt. and what per pound ? Bought 75 cwt. of butter for $966.38: what is that per and what per pound...
