move the decimal point how much zeros that is in the number multiply to the Right, divide to the Left 18.75 X 100= 1875 !8.75/100= 0.1875
If you mean 6.25 percent, then you just divide by 100 (move the decimal point 2 places to the left). If you mean 6.25, then multiply by 100 (move the decimal point 2 places to the right)
When you multiply decimals, the decimal point is placed in the product.
You cannot just move the decimal when you multiply or divide by 101001000.
You move the decimal place by as many positions as the number in the exponent.Examples (using "^" for powers): * To multiply by 10^5, you move the decimal point 5 positions to the right. * To multiply by 10^(-6), you move the decimal point 6 positions to the left. * To divide by 10^6 is the same as to multiply by the reciprocal - by 10^(-6). See the previous example.
Its less awkward with decimals with a decimal point to multiply the top and bottom out to remove the decimal points. example: divide 125.24 by 8.6 so 125.24/8.6 , so multiply top and bottom by 100, gives 12524/860 , then divide out, the result is the same.

For example, in a fraction like 2.534, there are 3 decimals after the point; in this case, take the point away, and divide by 1000 (a one with 3 zeroes). The result is 2534 / 1000.For example, in a fraction like 2.534, there are 3 decimals after the point; in this case, take the point away, and divide by 1000 (a one with 3 zeroes).

Multiply by 100 (move the decimal point twice to the right). For example, 0.50 = 50%
Move the point two places left; eg 3465.76 x 0.01 = 34.6576
Fractions to decimals: Divide the numerator by the denominator. Decimals to fractions: Put the fraction without the decimal point in the numerator. In the denominator, put a "1", followed by as many zeroes as there are decimals. For example, 0.058 becomes 58 / 1000.
To divide 1.73 by 519 using decimals, you first set up the division problem as follows: 1.73 ÷ 519. To divide, you move the decimal point in the dividend (1.73) to make it a whole number, which becomes 173. Then, perform the division as you would with whole numbers. The quotient is 0.00333 (rounded to five decimal places).
It enables you to multiply or divide by 10 (or powers of 10).
