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

#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#
