Dividing Decimals by 10, 100, and 1000 Worksheets - Free Printable

Let’s solve each part step by step.

---

Part A: Find the quotient.

When you divide a decimal by 10, 100, or 1,000, you move the decimal point to the left:

- Divide by 10 → move decimal 1 place left
- Divide by 100 → move decimal 2 places left
- Divide by 1,000 → move decimal 3 places left

If there aren’t enough digits, add zeros on the left.

Let’s do each problem:

1) 0.185 ÷ 10
Move decimal 1 place left → 0.0185

2) 25.05 ÷ 100
Move decimal 2 places left → 0.2505

3) 46.8 ÷ 1,000
Move decimal 3 places left → 0.0468

4) 5.81 ÷ 10
Move decimal 1 place left → 0.581

5) 6.7 ÷ 100
Move decimal 2 places left → 0.067

6) 3.6 ÷ 1,000
Move decimal 3 places left → 0.0036

7) 7.94 ÷ 10
Move decimal 1 place left → 0.794

8) 1.6 ÷ 100
Move decimal 2 places left → 0.016

Part B: Complete the table.

We’ll apply the same rule for each number in the first column.

Row 1: 20.8

- ÷10 → move 1 left → 2.08
- ÷100 → move 2 left → 0.208
- ÷1,000 → move 3 left → 0.0208

Row 2: 12.71

- ÷10 → 1.271
- ÷100 → 0.1271
- ÷1,000 → 0.01271

Row 3: 9.5

- ÷10 → 0.95
- ÷100 → 0.095
- ÷1,000 → 0.0095

Row 4: 0.72

- ÷10 → 0.072
- ÷100 → 0.0072
- ÷1,000 → 0.00072

Row 5: 87.6

- ÷10 → 8.76
- ÷100 → 0.876
- ÷1,000 → 0.0876
