...in Lesson XII., that to multiply a decimal by any power of 10, we need only move the decimal point as many places to the right as there are ciphers in the multiplier. For example : — •31567 x 100 is 31-567. For -34567 x 100 •= AVoVs x 100 = Vu'jV = 34-567. Similarly,... | |

...Product 6420-000. Therefore multiplying by 10, 100, 1000, &c. is only removing the decimal point so many places to the right as there are ciphers in the multiplier. Thus S2-1 multiplied by 10 is SJ I ; 4 '4 multiplied by 1000 is 4400, &c. 64. There is a method of... | |
