You multiply the mantissas, and add the exponents. After that, you may wish to normalize.

Example: 2x105 x 6x106 = 12 x 1011. Notice that I multiplied 2 x 6 to obtain 12, and that I added 5 + 6 to obtain the new exponent, 11. You may wish to normalize this result to 1.2 x 1012.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
