When dividing by a power of ten you may be able to avoid rounding errors that might otherwise be introduced by replacing the division by a multiplication: for example prefer x*0.01 to x/100. In other situations, multiplying by 1.00 (with an appropriate number of zeros after the decimal point) may also be beneficial.
