Multiply and divide numbers to 1000 by 10
When you divide by 10 move the digits one place to the right.
210 ÷ 10 = 21
Since the digits have moved to the right, the zero also moves place value - it does not just disappear! The zero also moves to the right into the tenths column after the decimal point.
So you could write 21.0. But since there’s nothing to show after the decimal point, we just don’t write it.
Complete the table below.
| Number | ÷ 10 |
| 340 | |
| 450 | |
| 120 | |
| 570 | |
| 890 | |
| 467 |
