Three. Count number of zeros. If multiply decimal by 100 move decimal point 2 places, etc.

When you multiply by ten to a power, move the decimal point to the right by the number of places of the power. 3.6 x 10 ^4 move decimal 4 places to right = 36000
Multiplying a real number by a positive power of ten moves the decimal point that number (the exponent) of places to the right. Multiplying by a negative power of ten moves it to the left. For example, the -3 power of 10 is 1/1000; multiplying by that moves the decimal point 3 places to the left.
The number of decimal places in a factor is determined by counting the digits to the right of the decimal point. In the case of the factor 40, there are no decimal places, as there is no decimal point present. Therefore, the number of decimal places in the factor 40 is 0.
Well, darling, the number 36.4375 has four decimal places. It's not rocket science, honey, just count those digits after the decimal point. So, in this case, you've got 4 decimal places to work with. Hope that clears things up for you!
When multiplying a whole number by a decimal with two places, ignore the decimal point and multiply as if you were multiplying two whole numbers. After you get the answer, re-insert the decimal point so that the product has two decimal places.

To multiply a whole number by a decimal, you can simply multiply the whole number by the decimal as if it were a fraction. First, ignore the decimal point and perform the multiplication. Then, count the number of decimal places in the decimal and adjust the result by moving the decimal point to the left that many places. For example, when multiplying 5 by 2.3, calculate 5 × 23 = 115, and then move the decimal point two places to the left, resulting in 1.15.
When you multiply a decimal by a power of ten, the decimal point moves to the right for positive exponents and to the left for negative exponents. The number of places the decimal point moves corresponds directly to the number of zeros in the power of ten. For example, multiplying by (10^2) (which has two zeros) moves the decimal point two places to the right. Conversely, multiplying by (10^{-2}) moves the decimal point two places to the left.
It moves three places to the right.
1, to the right
Exactly what you have when you just move the decimal point three places to the right from where it originally is.
When you multiply decimals, you do not move the decimal point during the multiplication process itself. Instead, you multiply the numbers as if they were whole numbers, and then you count the total number of decimal places in both the factors. The decimal point in the product is placed so that it has the same number of decimal places as the total counted.
105 To multiply a number by 100, just move the decimal point two places to the right. (To divide a number by 100, just move the decimal point two places to the left.)
One to one
Move the decimal point two places to the right and add a % sign.
Ignore the decimal point, multiply, count the places to the right of the decimal point, then count the same number from left to right in the answer,( after you add if nessicary) And put the decimal there. There's your answer. Example: 5 x 0.2 = 1.0 unusually, the number gets smaller after you add the decimal point.
