When you move from a smaller unit to a larger unit , you divide by 10,000 or 1,000. OR move from left to right on the chart and take a zero away.

Final answer:

When moving from a smaller unit to a larger unit, you divide by a conversion factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

When moving from a smaller unit to a larger unit, you divide by a conversion factor.

For example, if you are moving from millimeters to centimeters, there are 10 millimeters in a centimeter. So, you would divide by 10 and move the decimal point one place to the left.

The same concept applies to other units of measurement. You can use the conversion factor to determine how many times you need to divide or multiply to convert between units.
