...•= AVoVs x 100 = Vu'jV = 34-567. Similarly, to divide a decimal by any power of 10, wo must move the decimal point as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the divisor. If there are more ciphers in the divissr than there are places in the decimal, we must prefix a sufficient... | |

...division of a decimal by a decimal number, such as 10, 100, 1000, &c. is performed by merely moving the decimal point as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the decimal number. If there are not enough places in the dividend to allow of this, annex ciphers to the... | |
