Answer:
[tex]2.34 \times 15.7=36.738[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given two numbers 2.34 and 15.7 , we have to multiply both the terms that is [tex]2.34 \times 15.7[/tex] using long multiplication method,
First remove decimals, we get,
[tex]\frac{234}{100} \times \frac{157}{10}[/tex]
We first multiple numerators, [tex]234 \times 157[/tex]
Multiply the top number by the bottom number one digit at a time staring from the ones digit from right to left.
234 on multiplication with 7 gives 1638
carry over the term to the next term like 7 × 4 = 28 so carry 4 over 3.
write 0 at the end of 2nd row, and then Multiply 234 with 5 gives 11700
now write 0 0 at the end of 3 rd row and Multiply 234 with 1 gives 23400
Now add all the three rows, we get,
1638 + 11700 + 23400 = 36738
Thus, [tex]\frac{234}{100} \times \frac{157}{10}=\frac{36738}{1000}=36.738[/tex]
So, [tex]2.34 \times 15.7=36.738[/tex]
