Last, check to see if your answer is reasonable Problem Estimate Multiply and place decimal 3.78 x 4.1 = 4 x 4 = When multiplying decimals, you can also follow the following steps to correctly place the decimal point. 5. First, multiply the two factors as if they are both whole numbers (you don t need to line up the decimals) 6. Then, count the decimal places in both factors to find out how many places are needed in the product. 7. Start at the right of the product and count the number of places in the factors. 8.
