1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,420 2 00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:05,960 In the last video, we divided 100 into 99.061, and we did it 3 00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:06,770 the manual way. 4 00:00:06,770 --> 00:00:08,510 We did it the long division way. 5 00:00:08,510 --> 00:00:10,690 In this video, I just want to show you a quick shortcut 6 00:00:10,690 --> 00:00:14,900 because we're dividing something by a power of ten. 7 00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:21,690 If I have 99.061, if I multiply by a power of ten, 8 00:00:21,690 --> 00:00:23,080 I'm going to make the number bigger. 9 00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:26,770 Every time I multiply by 10, the decimal would shift to the 10 00:00:26,770 --> 00:00:31,250 right by one spot. 11 00:00:31,250 --> 00:00:36,320 So we could say, 99.061 times 10 is going 12 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,770 to be equal to 990.61. 13 00:00:40,770 --> 00:00:43,060 Notice we just moved the decimal over to 14 00:00:43,060 --> 00:00:44,670 the right by one. 15 00:00:44,670 --> 00:00:47,590 If I were to do-- I'll just arbitrarily switch colors-- 16 00:00:47,590 --> 00:00:53,670 99.061 divided by 10, we're going to shift the decimal in 17 00:00:53,670 --> 00:00:54,830 the other direction. 18 00:00:54,830 --> 00:01:00,600 This is going to be 9.9061. 19 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,180 So when we divide by 100, we're dividing by 10 twice. 20 00:01:04,180 --> 00:01:06,340 We're shifting to the left twice. 21 00:01:06,340 --> 00:01:17,150 So if we start with 99.061 divided by 100-- let me just 22 00:01:17,150 --> 00:01:17,760 write it like this. 23 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:18,960 We've already written the problem. 24 00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:22,570 If we want to divide this by 100, moving it one spot to the 25 00:01:22,570 --> 00:01:27,340 left will divide it by 10, and then moving another spot to 26 00:01:27,340 --> 00:01:31,930 the left will divide it by 10 again. 27 00:01:31,930 --> 00:01:41,400 So 99.061 divided by 100 is going to be equal to 0.99061. 28 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,560 We're just going to shift the decimal to the left by two. 29 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,920 And we might want to put a leading zero here, just so it 30 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,220 makes it a little bit easier to read. 31 00:01:50,220 --> 00:01:50,534
