When multipling using decimals

\n

When multipling using decimals, count how many decimal places you need to move the number to make it a whole number e.g

\n

0.000054 to get to 54, we moved 6 decimal places and 0.004 to get to 4, we moved 3 decimal places

\n

So if we want to do $0.000054 \\times 0.004$ => we move the first number 6 decimal places and the second number 3 decimal places

\n

=> $54 \\times 4 = 216$

\n

Now since we moved 9 decimal places, altogether to the right, we move the answer 9 decimals places back to the left i.e.

\n

216 becomes 0.000000216

\n

When dividing using decimals

\n

Keep multiplying both numbers by 10 until the number you are dividing by becomes a whole number. Then carry out a division as normal, keeping the position of any decimal points e.g.

\n

\n

If we want to do $25.348 \\div 0.04$ this is the same as $253.48 \\div 0.4$ (multiply both by 10), which is the same as $2534.8 \\div 4$ (multiply both by 10 again).

\n

Completing the division and maintaining the position of the decimal point gives $\\begin{array}{r}633.7 \\\\ {4}\\overline{)2534.8} \\end{array}$
