Question

A googol is a large number that is the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros. if you multiply a googol by 100, how many zeros will that product have?

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of zeroes in product = 102

Step-by-step explanation:

A googol is a large number that is the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros

   1 googol = 1 x 10¹⁰⁰

Now we need to multiply googol by 100

   googol x 100 = 1 x 10¹⁰⁰ x 100 = x 10¹⁰²

Number of zeroes in googol x 100 = 102

Number of zeroes in product = 102

Answer 2

So a "googol" is 1 followed by one hundred zeroes. If you multiply that by 100, you are adding 2 zeroes to the end. So you will have 102 zeroes. :)
