Once again, confusion in your head; Maths obviously is not your favourite, so why bother? Here are some examples, if that will be of any help: 100/100 = 1 or 1.0 (if required to express in decimal)
60/100 = 6/10 = 0.6 or 0.60 (if required to express to 2 decimal places)
6/100 = 0.06
6/1000 = 0.006
600/1000 = 60/100 = 6/10 = 0.6

I don't really understand your question.

A number like 60, or 43, or 3 can be writen with a decimal point,
like this:
60.
43.
3.

And you can add zeros after the numbers, if you have already put in the decimal point
60.0000000000
43.000000000000
3.000000000

When you divide by 100, it is the same as moving the decimal point to the left 2 places
.60000000000
.43000000000
.03000000000000

Also, it is good idea to make sure that there is at least one digit in front of the decimal point.
0.600000000
0.4300000000000000
0.0300000

when dividing by 100, shift the decimal point to the left 2 places, but i'm not sure what you mean about no zeros.
ex. 60/100 = .600
63/100 = .630
642/100 = .642

3/100 = .03
3.5/100 = .035
does that help?

Anytime you divide by 100 move the decimal point two points to the left .For example;

50 / 100 is .5

72.2 / 100 is ..722

309 /100 is 3.09

when dividing by 100 the point moves two steps to the left, so any two digit number divided by 100 will be with no 0's to it. Except 3, which you mention, will be 0.03

Yeah, pretty much. In a base 10 system, anytime you mutliply or divide by a number that is a multiple of 10, you can just shift the decimal point.
