How do I insert 2 decimal places to a number in cell?

[Rebecca Martinez]

I'm using Excel 2003, and can't figure out how to format an existing number
in a cell. The original number has no decimal, but I'm wanting to insert a
decimal to represent currency (ex: 5308033 = 53080.33)..........help!

[Bob Phillips]

One cell or many? Actual value or just presentation.

In some cell enter the number 100.

Select that cell and Edit/Copy

Then select your range to be altered and

Paste/Special Operation: Divide
