Let's convert the following number into a decimal:
[tex]\text{ }\frac{182}{1000}[/tex]
182 has 3 digits
1000 has 3 zeros
For this fraction with a denominator of 10, 100, 1000, 10000 and so on.
Converting its decimal form, we just have to count the number of zeros they have. Once we got the number of zeros, that's the number of places we move to put the decimal point in the numerator from right to left.
Let's now answer this to better understand the rule.
Since 1000 has 3 zeros, we move the decimal point 3 places from right to left of 182.
Therefore, the answer is 0.182
