Question

How many zeros are in the product of any nonzero whole number

Answer 1

Answer:

2 zeros for odd numbers less than 10

3 zeros for even numbers less than 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Non-zero whole numbers less than 10 are;

1, 2, 3,4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9

The odd numbers include:

3, 5, 7, and 9

The product of 500 and any of these numbers will contain 2 zeros, the ones in the number 500.

On the other hand, the even numbers include;

2, 4, 6, and 8

The product of 500 and any of these numbers will contain 3 zeros of which 2 are the ones in the number 500 and 1 zero is as a result of multiplying 5 by an even number.
