Examples of multiplying decimals

Example 1: Multiply fractions: 13,2 and 0.2.

After completing the multiplication, ignoring the commas, we get: .

Separate decimal point right as many digits as is the decimal point in both factors together, that is two digits .

Consider other examples of multiplication of decimal numbers:

Example 3:

Multiplying decimals and integers

The product of decimals and natural numbers is called a sum of terms, each of which is equal to the given decimal, and the number of summands is equal to this positive integer.

Tomultiply a decimal fraction by a natural number, you need to:

  • multiply it by that number, ignoring the decimal point;
  • in the resulting product to separate the decimal point as many digits to the right, how many of them separated by a comma in decimal fractions.

Multiplying decimals by 10, 100, 1000, etc.

Tomultiply a decimal fraction by 10,100,1000,etc., should:

  • in this fraction it is necessary to move the decimal point that many digits to the right, how many zeros is in the multiplier after one.

Example 4:

If the result is fewer digits than necessary to separate with a comma, ahead write zero or several zeros.
