Solution

7
70
700
7,000

When dividing any multiple of ten, regroup the numbers in the equation into multiples of tens, hundreds, thousands, etc. Divide the numerator by the denominator first. Then multiply by the multiple of ten.

497=7

(49×10)7=497× 10 = 7×10 = 70

(49×100)7=497× 100 = 7×100 = 700

(49×1,000)7=497× 1,000 = 7×1,000 = 7,000
