Question

. Explain the pattern that you notice when dividing by 100 and 1,000.​

Answer 1

Answer:

When multiplying by a power of 10 (such as 10, 100, 1000, etc), move the decimal point the same number of places to the right as there are zeros in the power of 10. When dividing by a power of 10, move the decimal point the same number of places to the left as there are zeros in the power of 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide a number by 1000, move all of its digits 3 place value columns to the right.

In this example we have 604 ÷ 1000.

The '6' in the hundreds column moves to the tenths column, immediately after the decimal point.

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.)
