2,000, 200 and 20 are similar except for the number of zeros.
You can remove a zero from each to equal the number of zeros in the divisor. So 80,000 ÷ 2,000 is equivalent to 80 ÷ 2 = 40 you just remove the 3 zeros
80,000 ÷ 200 is equivalent to 800 ÷ 2 = 400 you just keep removing 0s like for instance this time it was 2 lastly 80,000 ÷ 20 only allows us to remove 1 zero 8,000 ÷ 2 = 4,000. The smaller the divisor the greater the quotient when dividing the same number like for instance in this example 80,000
