Solution
For a fixed base, if the exponent decreases by 1, the number becomes one-tenth of the previous number.
Explanation:
If the exponent is decreased by 1, then for the fixed base, the number becomes one-tenth of the previous number.
E.g. - For 105, exponent decrease by 1
⇒ `10^(5 - 1) = 10^4`
⇒ `10^4/10^5 = 1/10`
