it affects because when you multiply you have to move the decimals to the left or right.......(helpful info)
move the decimal point how much zeros that is in the number multiply to the Right, divide to the Left 18.75 X 100= 1875 !8.75/100= 0.1875
You move the decimal place by as many positions as the number in the exponent.Examples (using "^" for powers): * To multiply by 10^5, you move the decimal point 5 positions to the right. * To multiply by 10^(-6), you move the decimal point 6 positions to the left. * To divide by 10^6 is the same as to multiply by the reciprocal - by 10^(-6). See the previous example.
Move the point two places left; eg 3465.76 x 0.01 = 34.6576
Multiply by ten to move the decimal one place to the right. Multiply by 100 to move two places to the right. Divide by ten to move it one place to the left.
