Answer:

You end up moving each digit in the number one place to the right.

Step-by-step explanation:

move all digits in the ones place to the right.

like for example: 31÷10

The 1 moves to the tenths column making that 3.1

If that makes sense :)

The power of ten is a bit more you will count the zeros in the divisor (number by another number that is divided) then move the decimal in the dividend (portion) to the left.

Maybe this will help ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

srry if this ends up making no sense, it is quite hard to explain and confusing.

Answer:

We know that the decimal point goes to the right of the ones place. So when you divide by powers of ten (ten times itself some number of times, like ten, one hundred, one thousand, etc.), the decimal moves to the left. ... So if you divided a number by one hundred (10^2 or 10*10), you would move two places to the left.
