A Common Misunderstanding
Not thinking about the place value of the digits when dividing.
60.4 ÷ 100
(60 ÷ 100) + (4 ÷ 100)
(60 ÷ 100) + (0.4 ÷ 100) = 0.604
= 0.64

The value of the exponent tells us how many times ten is multiplied by itself.
We can also say that the number of zeros in the product is equal to the value of the exponent.

Do you notice any patterns in the
dividends and the quotients?
Each time you divide a decimal by a power of 10, the digits in the quotient shift to the right.

1.3 ÷ 1 = 1.3
1.3 ÷ 101
1.3 ÷ 102
But what is happening to the
location of the decimal point?
= 0.13
= 0.013
Each time you divide a decimal by a power of 10, the decimal point shifts to the left the same number of places as the value of the exponent.

4.5 ÷ 10
This makes sense because 0.45 is 10 times smaller than
4.5
I can move the decimal point one place to the left in
4.5
4.5 = 0.45
In this lesson you have learned how to divide decimal numbers by powers of 10 by using what you know about place value.
