How to divide be a power of ten.

To divide by a power of ten you  take for example 346/10. When a the power of ten is more than 1 than you move the imaginary decimal to the left as many times as how many zeros you have. Like 346 divided by 100 move the decimal after the 6 to the left two times for we have two zeros that gives us 3.46. To divide by a number less than 1 you have to move the imaginary decimal to the right as many times that there are numbers after the decimal. For example 346/0.001 would give us 346 000 because i had to move the decimal over 3 times because i had three numbers after the decimal adding a zero in the empty space.
