Multiplication of Decimals

Multiplying decimals involves shifting the decimal point in the product based on the total number of decimal places in the factors. For example, in the multiplication of 0.094 and 1000, you multiply as if they were whole numbers (94 and 1000) and then adjust the decimal point in the result according to the decimal places in the original numbers.

Place Value

Place value is the value of a digit based on its position within a number. In decimal numbers, each position to the right of the decimal point represents a fraction of ten. Understanding place value is crucial when multiplying or dividing decimals, as it helps determine where to place the decimal point in the final answer.
