Answer:

to divide by 10, you move the number you are dividing over by one

to divide by 100, you move the number you are dividing over by 2

to divide by 100, you move the number you are dividing over by 3

example:

divide by 10, if the last number is a 0 then remove the 0

100/10= 10

if the last number is not 0 then move the last number into the decimal place

1908/10=10.8

divide by 100, if the last 2 numbers are 0 then remove the last two 0

1800/100=18

if the last 2 numbers are not 0 then move the last number into the decimal place

1948/100=19.48 or 1908/100=19.08

divide by 1000, if the last three numbers are 0 them remove the last three 0

16000/1000=16

if the last 3 numbers are not 0 then move the last number into the decimal place

19555/1000=19.555 or 19055/1000=19.055 or 19005/1000=19.005
