# *=(_:_:)

Multiplies two decimal numbers, storing the result in the first number.

## Declaration

```swift
static func *= (lhs: inout Decimal, rhs: Decimal)
```

## Parameters

- `lhs`: A value to multiply.
- `rhs`: Another value to multiply.

## Discussion

Discussion If the result of this operation requires more precision than the Decimal type can provide, the result is rounded using the NSDecimalNumber.RoundingMode.plain rounding mode. To specify a different rounding mode, use the NSDecimalMultiply(_:_:_:_:) function instead.
