...convert a DECIMAL fraction into a simple number, we set down the numerator (by itself), and remove the decimal point as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the denominator. Thus, -3s=3-+10=-3; i§g=789-r-i00=7-89; t§io=67i ,000= -067 ; &c. XOTE. — The Fractional... | |

...If the denominator be 10, or any power of 10, we can at once express it as a decimal by placing the point as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the divisor. Sometimes the divisor will not terminate, but the same figures will be repeated over again. Decimals... | |

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.
