Solution - Long multiplication
0.00004
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 |
| 2 | |||||||
| × | 0 | . | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| . |
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 5 decimal place(s). So once calculated, the result will be reduced by the factor of 100,000.
| Place value | ones |
| 2 | |
| × | 2 |
2. Add the partial products
Start by multiplying the ones digit (2) of the multiplier 2 by each digit of the multiplicand 2, from right to left.
Multiply the ones digit (2) of the multiplicator by the number in the ones place value:
2×2=4
Write 4 in the ones place.
| Place value | ones |
| 2 | |
| × | 2 |
| 4 |
Because we have 5 digit(s) to the right of the decimal point in the numbers that are being multiplied, we move the decimal point 5 time(s) to the left (reducing the result by the factor of 100,000) to get the final result:
The solution is: 0.00004
