Multiplication of Decimals by 10, 100, and 1000
When multiplying a decimal by 10, 100, or 1000, the decimal point shifts to the right by as many places as there are zeros.
Division of Decimals by 10, 100, and 1000
When dividing a decimal by 10, 100, or 1000, the decimal point shifts to the left by as many places as there are zeros.
Multiplication of Two Decimals
Multiply the numbers as whole numbers ignoring the decimal, then place the decimal point in the product by counting total decimal places from the right.
Division of a Decimal by a Whole Number
Divide normally as with whole numbers, placing the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend.
Division of a Decimal by another Decimal
Convert the divisor into a whole number by multiplying both dividend and divisor by the same power of 10, then proceed with normal division.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which direction does the decimal point move when multiplying by 100?
When multiplying by 100, the decimal point moves two places to the right.
How do we divide a decimal by another decimal?
First, shift the decimal point of the divisor to the right to make it a whole number, and shift the decimal point of the dividend by the exact same number of places to the right, then divide.
Why do we need to count decimal places when multiplying decimals?
We count decimal places to correctly place the decimal point in the final answer, ensuring the value represents the proper tenth, hundredth, or thousandth part.
