Fill in the Blank

A logistics coordinator is calculating the number of shipping units by dividing a total weight of 42.5{}42.5 tons by a unit weight of 0.25{}0.25 tons. To simplify the long division, the coordinator shifts the decimal points in both numbers two places to the right to divide 4250{}4250 by 25{}25. This action is mathematically justified by the ____ Fractions Property, which states that multiplying both the dividend and the divisor by the same nonzero number does not change the quotient.
