How can estimating products help you to place a decimal correctly?

By estimating the product it gives an indication of how big the final answer should be; knowing this, the decimal point can be put in to give an answer of the correct size. For example if the product estimate is 125 and the actual answer (without the decimal point) is 136728, then the decimal point needs to be inserted to make the answer about 125; the place is therefore after the 136, making the answer 136.728 (= 5.4 x 25.32 ≈ 5 x 25 = 125)


How is quotients and factors related?
