\bf \begin{array}{cllll} 1000\\ * 025\\\cline{1-1} 5000\\ 2000~~~~\\ +0000~~~~~~~~~~\\\cline{1-1} 025000~~~~~ \end{array}

so-called turtle-head method.

so the multiplication, ignoring the decimal point for just a second, is 025000, or just 25000.

now, let's mind the decimal point, there are two decimals, two integers to the right-side of the dot, so therefore, our product must also have two decimals, two digits to the right-side too.

250.00, and we can write it as just 250.
