it takes out the decimals in the problem an makes it super easy
When you multiply the dividend and the divisor by ten, it changes the numbers to whole numbers instead of decimals so you don't have to deal with the decimal point!
If either of the numerator or the denominator is a number to 1 decimal point it can make the fraction simpler for the less able mathematicians. For example, 6/1.2 = 60/12 = 5
It's easier to visualize with smaller numbers. 18 divided by 3 = 6 18 divided by 6 = 3 If the dividend is the same, the smaller the divisor, the larger the quotient.

In equivalent division, you multiply (or divide) the dividend and the divisor by the same number to form a new problem that is easier to calculate metally. The new problem will produce the same quotient. ie: 2 divided by 1/2, if you multiply 2 by 2 you get 4 and if you multiply 1/2 by 2 you get 1. 4 divided by 1 = 4. This is the same as the answer to 2 divided by 1/2 (4), it is just easier to do in your head.
Multiplying both the dividend and divisor by a power of 10 is done to convert the decimal divisor into a whole number. This allows us to perform the division operation using whole numbers, making it easier to calculate. It maintains the overall value of the division while simplifying the computation.

Some people do that so that the divisor becomes an integer under the impression that dividing by a whole number is, in some way, easier than dividing by a decimal.
When you're dealing with decimals, it's sometimes easier to get rid of them. 0.9 divided by 0.3 is the same as 9 divided by 3. The second one is easier to compute.
Adding the logs of numbers is equivalent to multiplying the numbers. People think adding is easier than multiplying.
That is correct. It is easier to simplify the fraction before multiplying all the factors in the numerator and the denominator.That is correct.

Multiplying numbers in scientific notation is easier when the numbers are very, very large or very, very small. Multiplying 0.000000000385 x 0.0000000474 is a pain. Multiplying 3.85 x 10-10 x 4.74 x 10-8 is not.
