How many times does 2.606 go into 260.6?

Answer 1

100 times. Every time we multiply a number by ten the decimal point moves one place to the right. Since 2.606 and 260.6 are identical except for the position of the decimal point, all we have to do is multiply 2.606 by 10x where x is the number of places the decimal point needs to move to the right - in this case two (making 10x 102). Since, 102 equals 100, 2.606 goes 100 times into 260.6.
