• 5.362 ÷ 1 =
• 5.362 ÷ 10 = 0.5362
• 5.362 ÷ 100 =
• 5.362 ÷ 1,000 =

Answer 1

To divide by powers of 10, you simply move the decimal point to the left for each zero in the divisor.

Let's calculate the examples you've provided:

1. **5.362 ÷ 1 = 5.362** (the decimal remains the same)
2. **5.362 ÷ 10 = 0.5362** (the decimal moves one place to the left)
3. **5.362 ÷ 100 = 0.05362** (the decimal moves two places to the left)
4. **5.362 ÷ 1,000 = 0.005362** (the decimal moves three places to the left)

So the results are:

- **5.362 ÷ 100 = 0.05362**
- **5.362 ÷ 1,000 = 0.005362**
