Step 1: Take the decimal numbers
Step 2: Check the given decimal number, how many digits are present after the point.
Step 3: If the number after the point is 1 means, we need to multiply with the value 10 to remove the decimal point. If the number after the point is 2 means, we need to multiply with the value 100 to remove the decimal point.
Step 4: After removing the decimal point we can multiply easily using normal multiplication method.
