Imagine instead that your equation is (124/10) * (31/10), or, all things being commutative in multiplication, (124 * 31) * (1/10 * 1/10) = (124 * 31) * (1/100) = (124 * 31) / 100. Multiply the first term, and you get 3844. Once you divide from there, you get 38.44.

These all equal 124: 1 x 124, 2 x 62, 4 x 31
62 * 2 = 12431 * 4 = 124
124 ÷ 4 = 31
The result of multiplying 4x31 is equivalent to 124. This mathematical operation can also be expressed as 4 times 31 is equal to 124, or four times thirty one is equal to one hundred twenty four.
