Your answer :
1
Either you made a mistake in arithmetic or you multiplied the entire first product by 128 instead of multiplying only the fractional part. The way it should look is:
.2568  × 128 1st partial products →  .5348  →  2.568  1st complete product →  3.3148 multiply the .314 only by 128 →   × 128 2nd partial products →  .6308  →  3.148 
Now, sum the second partial products. The integral part of the sum will be the second digit in the decimal equivalent of .2568.
