Question

Do the product 40x500 and 40x600 have the same number of zeros

Answer 1

No they do not have the same number of zeroes

Although the 2 products do seem like they might have the same number of zeroes, 40 x 500 and 40 x 600

both have 3 zeroes before multiplying

if we take the first 2 digits of the 2 numbers being multiplied to get an idea of the answer

 if we take 40 x 500 - 4 x 5 = 20

then theres an extra zero added

but if we take 40 x 600 - 4 x 6 = 24

no extra zeroes added to this

so if we finally look at the answers

40 x 500 = 20 000

40 x 600 = 24 000

20000 has 4 zeroes and 24000 has 3 zeroes

so the answer is no they dont have the same number of zeroes

Answer 2

No they do not. 40x500 has 4 zeros while 40x600 has 3 zeros

Explanation: 40x500=20000
40x600= 24000

hope this helps :)
