Long Multiplication method
- Step 1: Initially, ignore the decimal point and multiply the two numbers 7396, 3.14 normally. Arrange the two numbers vertically according to their place value (ignoring decimal).
- Step 2: Start by multiplying the bottom number in the one's place with the top number.
- Step 3: Remember to start from the right and work your way left. After you find the answer, write it down below the two numbers. Then, look at the next number to the left (the tens place) and multiply those. Put the answer under the first one and a zero for the ones place.
- Step 4: Once you've multiplied all the numbers, add them up to get the final answer.
- Step 5: After multiplying, count the number of decimal places in the original decimal numbers. The resulting product will have the same number of decimal places as the addition of the original number decimal places.
