What is our rule about multiplying by 0?
Multiplying by 0 makes the product equal zero. The product of any real number and 0 is 0 .
Why do you add 2 zeros when multiplying by 100?
As there are no longer any digits in either the tens column or the units column, we write a zero in both spaces to show that they are worth zero. 8 is a whole number with no digits after the decimal point. Therefore we can use the trick of “adding two zeros” to the end of the number.
What happens every time you multiply a number by 10?
When you multiply a number by 10, the value of each digit becomes ten times bigger, so each digit moves one place to the left. To multiply a number by 100, move each digit two places to the left.
Why do you add a 0 when multiplying?
When you multiply the second part, add a “0” to that answer, because you are multiplying the value from the tens column (the 2). If it’s from the hundreds, you would add two zeros. 768 + 1920 = 2,688 (See how we added a “0” to the “192” value?)
Why can you multiply by zero?
The multiplication property of zero: Regardless of what the other number is, multiplying by zero always results in an answer of zero. Any two numbers whose sum is zero are additive inverses of one another. For example, if you add -5 to 5, you arrive at zero.
Who introduced the concept of 0 zero?

What happens every time you multiply a number by 10 and why?
Multiplication is repeated addition. When multiplying whole numbers by 10, simply add a 0 to the end of the number. When multiplying decimals by 10, move the decimal point one space to the right.
What is the rule when multiplying by 100?
To multiply any number by 100, just tag TWO zeros on the end. To multiply any number by 1,000, just tag THREE zeros on the end. Note especially what happens when the number you multiply already ends in a zero or zeros. The rule works the same; you still have to tag the zero or zeros.
