Simply 144x96÷0.36
2 answers
Use prime factorization: 144=12^2=3^2*2^4, 96=2^5*3 and 0.36=9/25=3^2/5^2 so 144x96/0.36=(3^2*2^4*2^5*3)/(3^2/5^2) and multiply by the reciprocal (3^2*2^4*2^5*3)*5^2/3^2=2^4*2^5*3*5^2=2^9*3*5^2=38400. Answer: 38400
Online, “*” is used to indicate multiplication to avoid confusion with “x” as an unknown.
144*96÷0.36 = 13,824 + .36 = ?
