...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... | |

When a decimal number is to be divided by 10, 100, 1000, &c., remove the decimal point as many places to the left as there are ciphers in the divisor, and if there be not figures enough in the number, prefix ciphers.
