Divide Whole Numbers by 10 and 100 to Create Decimals

In this activity, we will learn how to divide whole numbers by 10 and 100.

Example

Work out

64 ÷ 100 =   

Answer

When we divide by 10, we shift each digit of the number 64 one place to the right.

So 64 ÷ 10 = 6.4

When we divide by 100, we shift each digit of the number 64 two places to the right.

So 64 ÷ 100 =  0.64
