Decimal Multiplication Problem

Hi Clover, let's solve this decimal multiplication together: twenty-six point three four times three point four.

When multiplying decimals, first count the total number of decimal places. Here, we have two places in twenty-six point three four and one place in three point four, giving us a total of three decimal places.

Now, let's ignore the decimals for a moment and multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers: two thousand six hundred thirty-four times thirty-four.

First, multiply by four. Four times four is sixteen, carry the one. Four times three plus one is thirteen, carry the one. Four times six plus one is twenty-five, carry the two. Four times two plus two is ten.
