2. Martin-Gay, Basic Mathematics, 4e 22 Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall. Multiplying Decimals Multiplying decimals is similar to whole numbers. The only difference is that we place a decimal point in the product. Multiplying Decimals Step 1: Multiply the decimals as though they are whole numbers. Step 2: The decimal point in the product is placed so that the number of decimal places in the product is equal to the sum of the number of decimal place in the factors.

Multiplying Decimals StepExample Step 1: Multiply the decimals as though they are whole numbers. Multiply: Step 2: The decimal point in the product is placed so that number of decimal places in the product is equal to the sum of the number of decimal places in the factors. Total of 2 decimal places. Decimal placed at two decimal places.

Multiplying by Powers of 10 TypeExample Multiplying Decimals by Powers of 10 such as 10, 100, 1000...: Move the decimal point to the right the same number of places as there are zeros in the power of 10. Multiplying Decimals by Powers of 10 such as.1,.01,.001...: Move the decimal point to the left the same number of places as there are decimal places in the power of 10.
