...= 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...

...quotient carried to any degree of exactness required. 3. To divide by any number that has ciphers annexed, remove the decimal point in the dividend, as many places to the left hand as there arc ciphers on the right of the divisor. *.l. The number of decimal places in the divisor...

...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...

...succes. 280 sion. 7.0 When there are Os at the right-hand 7.0 of the divisor, we may cut them off, and remove the decimal point in the dividend as many places to the left as we cut of Os. Divide 27506 by 1300. 13|00) 275.06 (21 1300 is equal to 13 times 100. Cutting 26 off...

...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...

...+ . 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...

...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...

...&c., is given, the price of one is found by simply removing tlie decimal point in the given cost or dividend, as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the divisor. (Art. 331.) 28. Bought 1000 bricks for $7.20 : what is that apiece ? 29. If 1000 feet of hemlock boards cost...
