take 5 for example 5 x .8 = 4
to help people even more you take 5 x 8 = 40 now move the decimal point over to the left by 1. So the 40 becomes 4.
3 x 8 = 24 so the numer would be 2.4M
11 x 8 = 88 so the number would be 8.8M
.... I could go on and on did not realize multiplication was confusing.
I never said it was actually difficult for me(but im sure it will be for some), BUT why multiply when the outahere calculator does not make you have to multiply? Why do this when the outahere calculator is wayyyy easier and no multiplying at all? For most Multiplication isn't confusing, but most don't want to come on here and have to multiply, and I am one that doesn't want to. If it is required that this is the way to go then I will cut back on FA so that I have as little to do with multiplication as possible lol. Sad, but shit I'm a full time student, math and anything to do with math is the furthest thing on my mind outside of school.
