4. LO: Eagle Scholars will be able to
multiply decimals
• You do not line up the factors by the decimal
point.
• Instead, place the number with more digits on
top.
• Line up the other number underneath, at the
right.
• Multiply
• Count the number of decimal places (from the
right) in each factor.
• Use the total number of decimal places in
your two factors to place the decimal in your
product.

8. Multiplication Properties
Commutative Property of Multiplication: Factors can be multiplied
in any order.
Example: 12 x 5 = 5 x 12
Associative Property of Multiplication: Factors can be grouped in
any way.
Example: (2 x 3) x 5 = 2 x (3 x 5)
Identity Property of Multiplication: The product of any number and
one is that number.
Example: 18 x 1 = 18
