How to divide decimals by powers of 10
Divide Decimals by Powers of 10 Lesson
Dividing a decimal by a power of 10 is a simple process. Instead of doing long division, you just move the decimal point to the left. The key is knowing how many places to move it.
Here is the general rule:
The number of places you move the decimal point is equal to the number of zeros in the power of ten.
You always move the decimal point to the left when you are dividing. Let’s break it down with some examples.
 
Dividing by 10
The number 10 has one zero. This means you move the decimal point one place to the left.
Example: 52.7÷10=5.27
 
Dividing by 100
The number 100 has two zeros. This means you move the decimal point two places to the left.
Example: 456.3÷100=4.563
 
Dividing by 1000
The number 1000 has three zeros. This means you move the decimal point three places to the left.
Example: 1,234.5÷1,000=1.2345
 
If you need to move the decimal more places than you have digits, just add zeros to the front of the number as placeholders.
For example: 3.2÷100=0.032
You need to move the decimal two places, so you add a zero as a placeholder.
 

The video gives a clear, step-by-step approach to walk through the process of dividing decimals by powers of 10.
