The product of any two numbers is the result of multiplying them

You can use pencil and paper to get the job done, or use a calculator.

A shortcut is to simply move the decimal over 1 spot to the right.

This is because multiplying 0.017 and 10 is the same as 0.017*10^1, where the exponent of positive 1 means "move decimal point 1 spot to the right". This only works if you multiply by powers of 10.

Answer: 0.17
