...153. NOTE 1.—When any decimal 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 O's in the divisor ; and if there be not so many figures on the left of the decimal point, the deficiency... | |

...Divide 0-9009 by 0-4051. Ans. 2-223+. Sf. 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 there are not so many figures at the left of the decimal point, we may prefix ciphers. 10 100... | |

When a decimal number is to be divided by 10, 100, 1000, &c., remove the decimal point as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the divisor, and if there be not figures enough in the number, prefix ciphers.
