Question

Find the greatest ....the sum of first 50 whole number or the product of first 100 whole number?
???explain it also

Answer 1

It is the sum because, whole numbers contain 0, which makes the product 0

Answer 2

We may think that to solve this sum we need to add 0+1+2......+49(It is the 50th whole number).

But the fact is that we all know that 0 multiplied with any number = 0. So 0*1*2*3*4......*99(It is the 100th whole number) = 0.

So, we can easily make it out that the sum will be greater than the product.

So, the sum of first 50 whole numbers> the product of first 100 whole numbers.
