What is the process to multiply multi-digit decimals?

Back

1. Ignore the decimal points and multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers. 2. Count the total number of decimal places in both numbers. 3. Place the decimal point in the product, so it has the same number of decimal places as the total counted.
