...decimal places is sufficiently exact for most business transactions. To divide by 10, 100, 1000, etc., remove the decimal point in the dividend as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the divisor (137, 4O4). Find the value of 8. 75-=-.75. 13. .564-1.12. 18. .0844-8.... | |

...there are zeros in the multiplier. To divide a decimal by 10, 100, 1000, etc., we have only to move the decimal point in the dividend as many places to the left, prefixing zeros if necessary, as there are zeros in the divisor. Thus, 100 x 36.123 = 3612.3, and 1000... | |
