I WILL MARK YOU BRAINLEST
Answers
Answer:
Sum of first five whole numbers = 0+1+2+3+4 = 10
Product of first 10 whole numbers = 0×1×2×3×4×5×6×7×8×9=0
Hence, the sum of first five whole numbers is greater as compared to the product of first ten whole numbers.
Note:
I putted 0 first, because whole numbers comprises of 0 also.
It is asked that,
What is the sum of first five whole numbers or the product of first 10 whole numbers? Which one is greater?
Knowledge required: Whole numbers are those numbers which starts from 0 and end last till infinity. The symbol W denotes whole numbers. And the symbol ∞ denotes infinity.
Required solution:
~ The first five whole numbers are mentioned below:
- 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4
~ Now the sum of these whole numbers are mentioned below:
- 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4
- 1 + 2 + 3 + 4
- 3 + 3 + 4
- 6 + 4
- 10
10 is the sum of first five whole numbers.
_____________________________
~ The first ten whole numbers are mentioned below:
- 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9
~ Now the product of these whole numbers are mentioned below:
↪️ 0 × 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 7 × 8 × 9
↪️ 0 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 7 × 8 × 9
↪️ 0 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 7 × 8 × 9
↪️ 0 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 7 × 8 × 9
↪️ 0 × 5 × 6 × 7 × 8 × 9
↪️ 0 × 6 × 7 × 8 × 9
↪️ 0 × 7 × 8 × 9
↪️ 0 × 8 × 9
↪️ 0 × 9
↪️ 0
0 is the product of these whole numbers.
_____________________________
~ The sum of first five whole numbers is greater than the product of first ten whole numbers as 10 is greater than 0 i.e., 10 > 0
