It depends on the decimal.
Take this one..
4.32
To get rid of all the decimal places you would need to multiply by 100, that would shift the decimal place 2 places to the right.
You would get.
432.
but now you need to 'divide' it by that same number , but not actually perform the division operation.
Like this.
432/100
So you multiplied by 100 and then you divided by 100 and you didn't change its value but only its form.
So the answer is that you divide by what every you multiplied by.
Note: 432/100 is not the fractions lowest form. Both top and bottom can be divided by 4 I believe.
