The multiple of ten can be reduced to the smaller number by moving the decimal place of the numerator one place to the left. However, this may only be a marginal short cut.

For example, dividing 1256 by 3450 is equivalent to dividing 125.6 by 345 but that is hardly a shortcut!

When dividing a number by another number there is no remainder?

When dividing a number by another number without a remainder, it means the first number is a multiple of the second number. In mathematical terms, this is referred to as divisibility. For example, if you divide 10 by 2, the result is 5, and there is no remainder. This indicates that 10 is evenly divisible by 2.

Count the number of zeros to the left of the decimal point in the multiple of ten that you are using: Examples: 10 (1 zero); 1,000,000 (6 zeroes); 100.0 (2 zeroes) Move the decimal point to the right by that number of spaces (if you run out of spaces to move the decimal point then add a zero) Examples: 5 * 1,000 = 5000 .005 * 10000 = 50 5000 * 10 = 5000

How do you write 390 in scientific notation?

To write in scientific notation, you first need to divide the number by a multiple of 10 such that the answer is between 0 and 10. In this case, we get 3.9 by dividing by 100. Then you need to find what multiple of 10 your divisor is. 100 is 102. You then put these two values (3.9 and 102) together as a multiplication, and that's how you write the initial number in scientific notation: 3.9x102
