Question

what is the example of a product that will have the same number of zeros in the factors and the products? what is one example of a product that will not have the same numbers of zeros in the factors as the product​

Answer 1

Answer:

• same: 30×40 = 1200
• different: 20×50 = 1000

Step-by-step explanation:

Same: 30×40 = 1200 . . . . . 2 zeros in the factors; 2 in the product

Different: 20×50 = 1000 . . . 2 zeros in the factors; 3 in the product

__

Same: 0.3×0.4 = 0.12 . . . . no zeros in the factors; no zeros in the product

Different: 0.2×0.4 = 0.08 . . . no zeros in the factors; 1 zero in the product after the decimal point

_____

For a product, the number of zeros will be different if the combined factors of the numbers increase the number of factors of 10 beyond the sum of the factors of 10 of the numbers being multiplied.

Example: neither 2 nor 5 has a factor of 10, but their product does.

__

For a product that is a decimal fraction, the number of leading zeros will increase if the product of the mantissas of the numbers is less than 10. The number of trailing zeros will increase under the conditions discussed above. (0.25×0.4 = 0.100)

Additional comment

Here, the term "mantissa" is used to refer to the portion of the number written in scientific notation that multiplies the power of 10.
