Question

If the product of two whole numbers is zero, can we say that one or both of them will be zero? Justify through examples.

Answer 1

$<b>Yes, if we multiply any number with zero the resultant product will be zero.$


$\textbf{Example: 5 x 0 = 0}$
$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \textbf{8 x 0 = 0}$
$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \textbf{2 x 0 = 0}$


If both number are zero, then the result also be zero.


$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \textbf{0 x 0 = 0}$
