Example: 9820 ÷ 100 = 98.20 shows how dividing by 100 moves the decimal point two places left.

Highlight: The placement of zeros in the quotient is crucial for maintaining the correct value when dividing by powers of 10.

Definition: When dividing by 100, you effectively remove two zeros from the end of the number or move the decimal point two places to the left.

Vocabulary: Quotient - The result obtained after dividing one number by another.

Definition: Division by 10 involves moving the decimal point one place to the left, while division by 100 requires moving it two places left.

Example: 320 ÷ 10 = 32 demonstrates the basic principle of removing one zero when dividing by 10.

Highlight: When dividing by powers of 10, the number of decimal places to move corresponds to the number of zeros in the divisor.

Vocabulary: Divisor - The number you're dividing by (in this case, 10 or 100)
