Multiplying Proper Fractions Multiplication of proper fractions is simple, as we can directly multiply the numerator of one fraction with the other fraction and the denominator of one fraction with the other fraction. If required, we can simplify the resultant…
If a fraction is written in the form of a/b, then a and b are the parts of the fraction, where a is called a numerator and b is called the denominator. For example, Suppose ⅖ is a fraction, then…
Multiplying fractions: When a fraction is multiplied by another fraction the resultant is a fraction or a whole number. We know, a fraction has two parts: numerator and denominator. Thus, when we multiply any two fractions, then numerators and denominators are multiplied, respectively. Example…
Q1 What is the order of operations of multiplication and division? As per the BODMAS rule, we divide first and then multiply, unless an expression is included in the bracket.15 ÷ 3 x 2 = 5 x 2 = 1015…

Multiplication and division of decimals by numbers that have powers of 10 is easier than that by a whole number. Rules for multiplication and division of decimal numbers by 10, 100 and 1000: Multiplication and Division Rules Examples Multiply by…
We can use the same trick we used in the multiplication of decimals i.e. remove the decimal points and divide the numbers like whole numbers. Let’s divide 40.5 by .20. Methods to divide these decimal numbers are as follows: Method…
When a decimal is multiplied by any real number, then the position of the decimal point (.) changes. For example: 0.33 x 2= 0.33 + 0.33 + 0.33. Multiplication of decimal numbers is similar to the multiplication of whole numbers. Steps…
The division is a method of dividing or distributing a number into equal parts, For example, if 16 is divided by 4, then 16 is divided into 4 equal parts. Therefore, the resultant value is 4. 16 ÷ 4 =…
Multiplication is the repeated addition of a number. If we multiply m by n, that means m is repeatedly added to itself for n times. The symbol for multiplication is ‘×’. For instance, 8 multiplied by 4 is equal to…
