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. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we can also do the multiplication in the following way:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5167*0.19
\n" ); document.write( "0.19 = 19/100
\n" ); document.write( "5167*19/100
\n" ); document.write( "98173/100
\n" ); document.write( "981.73\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2.163 x 0.008
\n" ); document.write( "now 2.163 = 2163/1000
\n" ); document.write( "0.008 = 8/1000
\n" ); document.write( "now \"2163%2F1000\"*\"8%2F1000\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"17304%2F10%5E6\"
\n" ); document.write( " 0.017304
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
