Symbols are used for multiplication and division in mathematical equations. The x denotes multiplication and the ÷ denotes division. Tips: 1. To multiply a number by another number which is a multiple of 10 and whose only non zero digit is the leading digit 1: move the digits to the left by the same number of zeros that are in the multiple of 10. Note: whole numbers that do not have decimal parts are written without a decimal point e.g. 400.0 = 400: in such cases the d.p. is not normally needed. 2. To divide a number by another number which is a multiple of 10 and whose only non zero... Show more
