Multiplying decimals is just like multiplying whole numbers. The only extra step is to decide how many digits to leave to the right of the decimal point. To do that, add the numbers of digits to the right of the decimal point in both factors.
we can also do the multiplication in the following way:

5167*0.19
0.19 = 19/100
5167*19/100
98173/100
981.73

2.163 x 0.008
now 2.163 = 2163/1000
0.008 = 8/1000
now *

0.017304
