When going from larger to smaller units, there will be more of them. That indicates multiplication, which will make the decimal point appear to move to the right.
Left
When converting from kilometers to millimeters, the decimal moves three places to the right. This is because there are 1,000 millimeters in a single centimeter and 1,000 centimeters in a kilometer, resulting in a total of 1,000,000 millimeters in a kilometer. Thus, for every kilometer, you multiply by 1,000, leading to the rightward movement of the decimal.

move the decimal place over 6 times to the left
When converting millimeters to decimeters, you move the decimal point 1 place to the left. This is because there are 100 millimeters in a decimeter (1 dm = 100 mm). Thus, to convert millimeters to decimeters, you divide the number of millimeters by 100.

It moves 5 places to the right.
When going from smaller to larger units, there will be fewer of them. That indicates division, which will make it appear as if the decimal point is going to the left.
When going from larger units to smaller ones, there will be more of them. That indicates multiplication, which will make the decimal point appear as if it is going to the right.
You move is three places.
1 km = 1 000 m = 1 000 000 mm1 mm = 0,000 001 km
