Find the product :

0.37 x 0.26

First we multiply 37 by 26

$\begin{matrix} & & 3 & 7 \ \times & & 2 & 6 \ \hline & 2 & 2 & 2 \ & 7 & 4 & \times \ \hline & \bold{9} & \bold{6} & \bold{2} \end{matrix}$

Clearly, 37 × 26 = 962

Sum of decimal places in given decimals = (2 + 2) = 4

So, the product contains 4 places of decimal

∴ 0.37 × 0.26 = 0.0962
