$0.06 \cdot 0.01$

Step 1

Multiply $1$ by $6$ . Place the result in the next column in the result line. There is one result line for each digit in $0.01$ .


	$0$	. $0$	$6$
$⨯$	$0$	. $0$	$1$
			$6$

Step 2

Multiply $1$ by $0$ . Place the result in the next column in the result line. There is one result line for each digit in $0.01$ .


	$0$	. $0$	$6$
$⨯$	$0$	. $0$	$1$
		$0$	$6$

Step 3

Multiply $1$ by $0$ . Place the result in the next column in the result line. There is one result line for each digit in $0.01$ .


	$0$	. $0$	$6$
$⨯$	$0$	. $0$	$1$
	$0$	$0$	$6$

Step 4

Multiply $0$ by $6$ . Place the result in the next column in the result line. There is one result line for each digit in $0.01$ .


	$0$	. $0$	$6$
$⨯$	$0$	. $0$	$1$
	$0$	$0$	$6$
		$0$

Step 5

Multiply $0$ by $0$ . Place the result in the next column in the result line. There is one result line for each digit in $0.01$ .


	$0$	. $0$	$6$
$⨯$	$0$	. $0$	$1$
	$0$	$0$	$6$
	$0$	$0$

Step 6

Multiply $0$ by $0$ . Place the result in the next column in the result line. There is one result line for each digit in $0.01$ .


	$0$	. $0$	$6$
$⨯$	$0$	. $0$	$1$
	$0$	$0$	$6$
$0$	$0$	$0$

Step 7

Multiply $0$ by $6$ . Place the result in the next column in the result line. There is one result line for each digit in $0.01$ .


	$0$	. $0$	$6$
$⨯$	$0$	. $0$	$1$
	$0$	$0$	$6$
$0$	$0$	$0$
	$0$

Step 8

Multiply $0$ by $0$ . Place the result in the next column in the result line. There is one result line for each digit in $0.01$ .


	$0$	. $0$	$6$
$⨯$	$0$	. $0$	$1$
	$0$	$0$	$6$
$0$	$0$	$0$
$0$	$0$

Step 9

Multiply $0$ by $0$ . Place the result in the next column in the result line. There is one result line for each digit in $0.01$ .


		$0$	. $0$	$6$
	$⨯$	$0$	. $0$	$1$
		$0$	$0$	$6$
	$0$	$0$	$0$
$0$	$0$	$0$

Step 10

Add the numbers in each column. In this case, add $6 + 0 + 0$ , then place the $6$ in the result line.


		$0$	. $0$	$6$
	$⨯$	$0$	. $0$	$1$
		$0$	$0$	$6$
	$0$	$0$	$0$
$0$	$0$	$0$
				$6$

Step 11

Add the numbers in each column. In this case, add $0 + 0 + 0$ , then place the $0$ in the result line.


		$0$	. $0$	$6$
	$⨯$	$0$	. $0$	$1$
		$0$	$0$	$6$
	$0$	$0$	$0$
$0$	$0$	$0$
			$0$	$6$

Step 12

Add the numbers in each column. In this case, add $0 + 0 + 0$ , then place the $0$ in the result line.


		$0$	. $0$	$6$
	$⨯$	$0$	. $0$	$1$
		$0$	$0$	$6$
	$0$	$0$	$0$
$0$	$0$	$0$
		$0$	$0$	$6$

Step 13

To find the number of decimal places needed in the answer, add the number of decimal places in the multiplier and multiplicand. In this case, there is a total of $4$ , so the answer must have $4$ decimal places as well.

$0.0006$
