Multiplication

The numbers are multiplied together ("long multiplication") resulting in a number that may be as long as the sum of the lengths of the two operands.

Example:
             xxx.xxx * yy.yyyyy
becomes:
             zzzzz.zzzzzzzz
The result is then rounded, counting from the first significant digit of the result, to the current setting of NUMERIC DIGITS.
