Question

what is the 3,614×272

Answer 1

To find the product between aone or two decimal numbers we start by finding the product of the number as if there were no decimals on any of the terms.

$3614\cdot272=983008$

now count the number of decimal places there are on all the terms of the multiplication

$\begin{gathered} 3.614=3\text{decimal places} \\ 272=\text{ 0 decimal places} \end{gathered}$

now insert the decimal places as many places there were on the terms starting from rigth to left, in this case 3 decimal places

$3.614\cdot272=983.008$
