Today we are going to look at Multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000.
First lets start of with a multiplying.
Our number
568
First, we want to find out what 568 x 10 =
To do this we move the digits of the number 1 place to the left.
568 x 10 = 5,680
Next, we want to find out what 568 x 100 =
To do this we move the digits of the number 2 place to the left.
568 x 100 = 56,800
Finally, we want to find out what 568 x 1000 =
To do this we move the digits of the number 3 place to the left.
568 x 1000 = 568,000
It is important to remember we are not just adding a 0 to the end of the number as you will see in the next example. make sure too notice the decimal point.
Our number
7.654
First, we want to find out what 7.654 x 10 =
To do this we move the digits of the number 1 place to the left.
7.564 x 10 = 76.54
Next, we want to find out what 7.564 x 100 =
To do this we move the digits of the number 2 place to the left.
7.564 x 100 = 765.4
Finally, we want to find out what 568 x 1000 =
To do this we move the digits of the number 3 place to the left.
7.564 x 1000 = 7654.
Now lets move onto dividing.
Our number
6458
First, we want to find out what 6458 ÷ 10 =
To do this we move the digits of the number 1 place to the right.
6458 ÷ 10 = 645.8
Next, we want to find out what 6458 ÷ 100 =
To do this we move the digits of the number 2 place to the right.
6458 ÷ 100 = 64.58
Finally, we want to find out what 6458 ÷ 1000 =
To do this we move the digits of the number 3 place to the right.
6458 ÷ 1000 = 6.458
Lets have a look at another example.
Our number
54.96
First, we want to find out what 54.96 ÷ 10 =
To do this we move the digits of the number 1 place to the right.
54.96 ÷ 10 = 5.496
Next, we want to find out what 6458 ÷ 100 =
To do this we move the digits of the number 2 place to the right.
54.96 ÷ 100 = 0.5496
Finally, we want to find out what 6458 ÷ 1000 =
To do this we move the digits of the number 3 place to the right.
54.96 ÷ 1000 = 0.05496
