Solution - Long multiplication
Step-by-step explanation
1. Rewrite the numbers from top to bottom aligned to the right
| Place value | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones | . | tenths | hundredths |
| 6 | 0 | 7 | 5 | . | 4 | 6 | |
| × | 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 2 decimal place(s). So once calculated, the result will be reduced by the factor of 100.
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 6 | 0 | 7 | 5 | 4 | 6 | ||
| × | 2 | ||||||
2. Multiply the numbers using long multiplication method
Start by multiplying the ones digit (2) of the multiplier 2 by each digit of the multiplicand 607,546, from right to left.
Multiply the ones digit (2) of the multiplicator by the number in the ones place value:
2×6=12
Write 2 in the ones place.
Because the result is greater than 9, carry the 1 to the tens place.
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | |||||||
| 6 | 0 | 7 | 5 | 4 | 6 | ||
| × | 2 | ||||||
| 2 |
Multiply the ones digit (2) of the multiplicator by the number in the tens place value and add the carried number (1):
2×4+1=9
Write 9 in the tens place.
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | |||||||
| 6 | 0 | 7 | 5 | 4 | 6 | ||
| × | 2 | ||||||
| 9 | 2 |
Multiply the ones digit (2) of the multiplicator by the number in the hundreds place value:
2×5=10
Write 0 in the hundreds place.
Because the result is greater than 9, carry the 1 to the thousands place.
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 1 | ||||||
| 6 | 0 | 7 | 5 | 4 | 6 | ||
| × | 2 | ||||||
| 0 | 9 | 2 |
Multiply the ones digit (2) of the multiplicator by the number in the thousands place value and add the carried number (1):
2×7+1=15
Write 5 in the thousands place.
Because the result is greater than 9, carry the 1 to the ten thousands place.
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | |||||
| 6 | 0 | 7 | 5 | 4 | 6 | ||
| × | 2 | ||||||
| 5 | 0 | 9 | 2 |
Multiply the ones digit (2) of the multiplicator by the number in the ten thousands place value and add the carried number (1):
2×0+1=1
Write 1 in the ten thousands place.
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | |||||
| 6 | 0 | 7 | 5 | 4 | 6 | ||
| × | 2 | ||||||
| 1 | 5 | 0 | 9 | 2 |
Multiply the ones digit (2) of the multiplicator by the number in the hundred thousands place value:
2×6=12
Write 2 in the hundred thousands place.
Because the result is greater than 9, carry the 1 to the millions place.
| Place value | millions | hundred thousands | ten thousands | thousands | hundreds | tens | ones |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | ||||
| 6 | 0 | 7 | 5 | 4 | 6 | ||
| × | 2 | ||||||
| 1 | 2 | 1 | 5 | 0 | 9 | 2 |
Because we have 2 digit(s) to the right of the decimal point in the numbers that are being multiplied, we move the decimal point 2 time(s) to the left (reducing the result by the factor of 100) to get the final result:
The solution is: 12150.92
