Moving the point between the 1 and 2 we have which makes 1 a whole number and 11055 the fraction.
Moving it again in the same direction we have or 12 and 353. We see then that moving the point to the right multi plies by ten for every place it is moved (and consequently that moving it to the left would divide by ten in a similar man ner), and that we can divide or multiply by ten by simply changing the position of the point.
