Why do you move the decimal point two places left when dividing by 100?

When you divide a number by 10, 100, 1000, and so on, you move the decimal point to the left depending on how many zeros are there. If you divide by 10, you move it one place left, if you divide by 100, you move it two places left, and so on.
