If you can do multiplication of two integers without a calculator, then you can multiple an integer (a whole number) with a floating-point number (a number with decimals) without a calculator too.

For example, let us say you want (2.56 * 5).

2.56 * 5

= 2.56 * 5 /1 (I am not changing any value)

= 256 * 5 /100 (I am multiplying the numerator and denominator by 100)

= 1280 /100 (do my multiplication of two integers, 256 and 5)

= 12.8 (do the division)

Note that I am doing the process in the long-hand for illustration purpose. You can take short-cuts once you are comfortable with the process. For example, I shall go straight to multiplying 256 with 5 (ignoring the decimal point; it is like moving the decimal point two places to the right), get the answer, and then move the decimal point two places to the left to return the decimal point to the right location.

Are decimals just as important as whole numbers?

Of course! Without decimals, you couldn't calculate percentages or fractions. Decimals allow you to break a number up. A decimal is basically a fraction, and when you calculate fraction adding, subtraction, multiplication, and division, sometimes it is easier to calculate a fraction by first changing it to a decimal instead.

How do you Square root decimals without a calculator?

To square root decimals without a calculator, first convert the decimal into a fraction. For example, the square root of 0.64 can be expressed as √(64/100), which simplifies to √64/√100 = 8/10. Then, simplify the fraction to find the square root. Alternatively, you can estimate by finding the nearest perfect squares and refining your estimate through averaging or by using the long division method for square roots.

What is the advantage of Egyptian multiplication method?

The Egyptian multiplication method, also known as doubling and halving, simplifies multiplication by breaking down numbers into simpler parts. This method allows for multiplication using only addition and doubling, making it easier to perform without a calculator or advanced tools. It is particularly advantageous in ancient times or in environments with limited resources, as it relies on basic arithmetic principles. Additionally, it enhances understanding of multiplication through a visual and systematic approach.
