Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When multiplying decimals, ignore the decimal point and multiply as if they were whole numbers. In this case, 8356 times 14567 equals 121642852. However, we need to count the total number of decimal places in the factors being multiplied. There are a total of 7 decimal places between 8.356 and 14.567, so the answer should have 7 decimal places as well. Therefore, the correct placement of the decimal point in the answer is after the first 7 digits from the right: 121.642852.
