Dividing by 10 & 100

Dividing by 10 & 100
When dividing by 10, 100 or 1000, all you need to remember is that the decimal moves to the left and the amount of spaces depends on the amount of zeros. Conversely, when multiplying, the decimal moves to the right, but let’s look at division.
Example 1: 35.6 ÷ 10 = 3.56 – The decimal moves 1 place to the left because we are dividing by 10 (1 zero).
Example 2: 82.9 ÷ 100 = 0.829 – The decimal moves 2 places to the left because we are dividing by 100 (2 zeros).
Example 3: 5789.5 ÷ 1000 = 5.7895 – The decimal moves 3 places to the left because we are dividing by 100 (3 zeros).
If there are no decimals in the number, students must remember that there is an invisible decimal at the end of every whole number – 45 = 45. or 739 = 739. – note the decimal? I find this particularly challenging for students to remember, so it’s important to revise it each day.
Example 1: 59 ÷ 10 = 5.9 – The decimal moves 1 place to the left because we are dividing by 10.
Example 2: 943 ÷ 100 = 9.43 – The decimal moves 2 places to the left because we are dividing by 100.
Hang posters up in your classroom to remind students and refer to them while teaching. It’ll help them a lot!
Things to remember: Dividing – decimal goes left. Multiplying – decimal goes right. There is an invisible decimal at the end of every whole number. The amount of spaces depends on the amount of zeros.
