By computation $=58times4times10^-4$ which is $2.32times10^-2$

You need to multiply numbers and then add decimals:

$58times4times10^-4$

When you multiply 58 with 4, you will get

$=232times10^-4$

If you arrange your result (using scientific method)

you can write:

$=2.32times10^-2$

This is your answer
$2.32times10^-2$

$0.58xx0.04=0.0232$

$0.58=58/100$

and $0.04=4/100$

Hence, $0.58xx0.04$

= $58/100xx4/100$

= $(58xx4)/(100xx100)$

= $232/10000$

= $0.0232$
