Question

Multiply the decimal numbers.

$6.72\times 56.1$

Answer 1

Step 1: Ignore the decimal point and multiply the decimal numbers with the usual multiplication.

$672\times 561=376992$

Step 2: Count the number of digits to the right of the decimal point in the decimal number.

$6\underline{.72}\times 56\underline{.1}$

In this case, we have $3$digits after the decimal point.

Step 3: Put the decimal point in the product by counting the same number of digits from its rightmost place.

$376\underline{.992}$

Therefore, $6.72\times 56.1=376.992$
