...1oo = *g% = 34-567. Similarly, to divide a decimal by any power of 10, we must move the decimal point as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the divisor. If there are more ciphers in the divisor than there are places in the decimal, we must prefix a sufficient... | |

...the divisor is always 10, 100, 1000, &c., the operation is performed by removing the decimal point as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the divisor, prefixing ciphers when necessary. EXAMPLES FOR PRACTICE. 1. Reduce 2A 5 to myriares. 2. Reduce ,M 403... | |

...given. A form now often taught s as follows: " Remove the decimal point to the end of the divisor: 'remove the decimal point in the dividend as many places to the riyht 'as it has been moved in the divisor: in the quotient, insert the deci'mal point when the decimal... | |

...1708iff£. 64. When the divisor is 10, 100, 1000, etc., the quotient may be obtained, at once, by removing the decimal point in the dividend, as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the divisor. For, since the value denoted by figures is multiplied by 10 by re moving the decimal point one place... | |

...NOTE 3. — When a decimal number is to be divided by 10, 100, 1000, &c., remove the decimal point as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the divisor, and if there be not figures enough in the number, prefix ciphers. Thus 1.25 -i- 10 = .125 ; and 1.7... | |
