In base 10, if a number is multiplied by a power of 10 (10 n , where n is the power of 10), it is sufficient to move the number n places to the right filling in with 0's.

Note also that in this case the bit that is shifted in is the sign bit, which is necessary to maintain the correct sign of the number.
