SEC 1 – 3: MULTIPLYING AND DIVIDING
DECIMALS

Objectives:
1) To multiply decimals.
2) To divide decimals.
 KEY CONCEPTS: PROPERTIES OF
MULTIPLICATION

Identity Property of Multiplication – The product of 1 and a is a.

Ex) 5 x 1 = 5

Zero Property – The product of zero and any number is zero.

Ex) 5 x 0 = 0

Commutative Property of Multiplication – Changing the order of the factors does not
change the product.

Ex) 5 x 2 = 2 x 5

Associative Property of Multiplication – Changing the grouping of the factors does not
change the product.

Ex) (3 x 2) x 5 = 3 x (2 x 5)
