Well, I guess you have a choice of two operations,
whichever one is easier for you.
-- Leave the decimal point where it is, and move
each and every number one place to the left.
or
-- Leave all the numbers where they are, and move
the decimal point one place to the right.
How to remember it:
When you 'times' a number, you have to get a bigger number than you started with.
If it comes out smaller, then you moved things the wrong way.

Another combination could be 5, 10, and 100, as (5 \times 10 \times 100 = 5000). There are multiple sets of numbers that can fulfill this condition, depending on the factors chosen.
