Let’s solve each part step by step.
---
Part 1: Complete the chart — divide each number by 10, 100, and 1000
We move the decimal point left:
- ÷10 → move decimal 1 place left
- ÷100 → move decimal 2 places left
- ÷1000 → move decimal 3 places left
If there’s no visible decimal, it’s at the end (e.g., 4567 = 4567.0)
Let’s do each row:
Row 1: 4567
- ÷10 = 456.7
- ÷100 = 45.67
- ÷1000 = 4.567
Row 2: 369
- ÷10 = 36.9
- ÷100 = 3.69
- ÷1000 = 0.369
Row 3: 85
- ÷10 = 8.5
- ÷100 = 0.85
- ÷1000 = 0.085
Row 4: 76234
- ÷10 = 7623.4
- ÷100 = 762.34
- ÷1000 = 76.234
Row 5: 236.7
- ÷10 = 23.67
- ÷100 = 2.367
- ÷1000 = 0.2367
Row 6: 89.1
- ÷10 = 8.91
- ÷100 = 0.891
- ÷1000 = 0.0891
Row 7: 127897
- ÷10 = 12789.7
- ÷100 = 1278.97
- ÷1000 = 127.897

Part 2: Number sentences
These are asking: “What do I divide by to get this result?”
Remember:
If A = B ÷ C, then C = B ÷ A
So we rearrange: divisor = dividend ÷ quotient
1. 23 = 230 ÷ ___
→ 230 ÷ 23 = 10 → Answer:
10
2. 47 = 4700 ÷ ___
→ 4700 ÷ 47 = 100 → Answer:
100
3. 2.1 = 2100 ÷ ___
→ 2100 ÷ 2.1 = ?
Think: 2100 ÷ 2.1 = 21000 ÷ 21 = 1000 → Answer:
1000
4. 5.68 = 568 ÷ ___
→ 568 ÷ 5.68 = ?
Multiply numerator and denominator by 100: 56800 ÷ 568 = 100 → Answer:
100

Part 3: Word problems
5. How many times larger is 5748 than 57.48?
→ Divide: 5748 ÷ 57.48
Move decimal 2 places in both: 574800 ÷ 5748 = 100
Answer:
100 times
6. How many times smaller is 0.456 than 45.6?
→ Divide: 45.6 ÷ 0.456
Move decimal 3 places: 45600 ÷ 456 = 100
Answer:
100 times
7. Lottery prize £345500 shared between 100 people
→ 345500 ÷ 100 = 3455
Each person gets
£3455
