It's simple....just follow these steps;
1. See the denominator(the number you are dividing with) which in this case is 10,000.
2. Now, since the denominator is a number that has "1" on the unit place (more examples of such numbers are 10, 100, 1000, 10000 etc.), follow the followig steps.
NOTE:- Do not follow these steps if such is not the case.
3. Count the number of zeros in the denominator.
4. Now, in this case we have 4 zeros, so start counting the digits in the numerator form right.
5. Put the decimal after number of digits equal to the counted zeros.
hope it helps... =)

12568/10000

The 10000 has four zeros, write 12568 as 12568.0, simply move the decimal point four places to the left, since 10000 has four zeros.

You have 1.2568 as the answer.
