1. The problem is to calculate 1080 divided by 1,000. 2. The formula for division is $\frac{a}{b}$ where $a$ is the numerator and $b$ is the denominator. 3. Here, $a=1080$ and $b=1000$. 4. Perform the division: $$\frac{1080}{1000} = 1.08$$ 5. This means 1080 is 1.08 times 1000. 6. So, the answer is 1.08.
