Solution - Long multiplication
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom aligned to the right
Place value | ones | . | tenths | hundredths | thousandths | ten thousandths | hundred thousandths |
0 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | |
× | 0 | . | 0 | 3 | |||
. |
Ignore the decimal points and multiply as if these are whole numbers (as if each most right digit is the ones digit):
In this case we removed 7 decimal place(s). So once calculated, the result will be reduced by the factor of 10,000,000.
Place value | ones |
2 | |
× | 3 |
2. Add the partial products
Start by multiplying the ones digit (3) of the multiplier 3 by each digit of the multiplicand 2, from right to left.
Multiply the ones digit (3) of the multiplicator by the number in the ones place value:
3×2=6
Write 6 in the ones place.
Place value | ones |
2 | |
× | 3 |
6 |
Because we have 7 digit(s) to the right of the decimal point in the numbers that are being multiplied, we move the decimal point 7 time(s) to the left (reducing the result by the factor of 10,000,000) to get the final result:
The solution is: 0.0000006
