    Dividing decimals by powers of 10 involves moving the decimal place to the left by the same number of places as the power of 10 in the divisor. Lower powers of 10 like 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001 in the divisor require moving the decimal place to the right in the dividend by that same number of places and adding leading zeros if needed. Examples are provided to demonstrate dividing decimals by 100, 1000, and powers of 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001.

    What are the powers of 10?
    The powers of 10 are 1, 10, 100, 1000,
    10000, etc. are all powers of 10
    These numbers can be written using
    components.
    EXAMPLES:
    1 = 100
     10 = 101
     100 = 102
     1000 = 103
     10000 = 104

     The Fractions 1/10 , 1/100 , 1/1000 , 1/10000, etc.


    - In decimal form, they can be written 0.1, 0.01, 0.001,
    0.0001, etc.
     Dividing is just as easy.
     The decimal place simply moves to the left instead of the right.
     EXAMPLES
    35.759 ÷ 100 = 0.35759
    761.81 ÷ 102 = 7.6181
    978.10 ÷ 1000 = 0.97810
    87.209 ÷ 108 = 0.00000087209
     To divide decimals by 0.1,0.01, or 0.001 we just

     Move the decimal point in the dividend to the as there are many decimal places in the divisor
     Prefix zero/zeroes before the decimal point if needed

     EXAMPLES:
     721.07 ÷ 0.1= 7210.7
     891.81 ÷ 0.01 = 89181
     641.90 ÷ 0.001 = 641900
     2378.10 ÷ 0.0001 = 23781000
