DIVISION OF

DECIMALS
After going through this lesson, you are expected
to:

multiply decimals with factors up to 2

decimal places; (M6NS-Ie-111.3)
• Multiplying decimals is just like
multiplying whole numbers. You get
the partial product and then get the
sum.

• Count the number of decimal places

in the factors and put the decimal
point in the product.
