Why is any any number multiply by zero is equal to zero? 10 x 0 = 0 100 x 0 = 0 1000 x 0 = 0 If i have 100 oranges on a table and i multiply it by zero. Why do i suddenly have zero? 100 oranges X 0 = 0 1000 pears X 0 = 0 front page please mathematicians in the house please gather. 33 Likes 2 Shares |

BobFischer:add no orange (0) ten times (10x), that is 10x0, what will you get? OR add ten oranges at no time, what will you get? (Note that multiplication is simply repeated addition) 186 Likes 11 Shares |

eddynaira125: mind you 0 * 3 and 3 * 0 are two different statement. 0 (nothing) * 3 (something) = 0 (nothing) 3 (something) * 0 (nothing) = 0 (nothing). why isnt it 3 * 0 = 3 0 * 3 = 0 108 Likes 6 Shares |

BobFischer: Zero practically means nothing. So nothing 1 time, nothing 2 times and nothing 1000 times 0r 1million times is still equal to nothing. Eg) if i dont have 1 naira, if you ask me for 1 naira for 1 time or even 100 times, i still dont have any. that is it. 374 Likes 21 Shares |

BobFischer:Probably, you don't understand the meaning of multiplication, God says be fruitful and multiply. For multiplication to occur, it must be 2 entity that are not empty, Procreation is as a result of union of two people. Man with Nothing can not bring a child. The zero, in the expression will always affect the answer and make it to be nothing. 63 Likes 6 Shares |

Worldliness: This translate to zero 0 (if i dont have 1 naira) * 1 or * 100 = 0 (i still dont have any) NOW THIS (You have) 100 * 0 (nothing) = 0 (nothing) translate to you have 100 and i ask zero time(simply i dont ask) and then you loose your 100 so how do you explain this? losing you 100 when you do nothing 11 Likes |

My own reasoning is this We all know 0 is nothing. Now if you put nothing in ten places, youll get nothing in those ten places. Whic equals to =0/ nothing. So here 10 is represented by the places a number occurs. Hope I've not ended up confusing you further. 8 Likes 1 Share |

First the commonsense explanation: Say you are giving away free apples. An infinitely big apple tree has sprouted in your garden (it's hypothetical) and you have decided to give away apples to each person who comes by. You have decided that you'll give 1 apple to each person that comes by. If one person comes by, you have given away one apple. If two people come by, you have given away two apples. If seventy-five people come by you have given away seventy-five apples. This is multiplication by 1. If there are n people that come by, 1*n tells you how many apples you have given away. Say you are giving away 2 apples per person. If one person comes by, you have given away two apples. If two people come by you have given away four apples. If thirty people come by you have given away sixty apples. This is multiplication by 2. So if 'n' is how many people came by, 2*n tells you how many apples you have given away. Similarly, if you are giving away 100 apples per person, 100*n tells you how many apples you have given away in total where 'n' is how many people came by to collect their apples (everyone loves apples). If you are giving away 0 apples per person, then regardless of how many people come by, how many apples would you have given out by the end of the day? Logically? None, of course! Hence, 0*n = 0. This also works the other way around, because of the commutative law for multiplication. So lets say no people come by, i.e., n = 0. Regardless of how many apples you want to give away, the total number of apples you have given away will always be 0. Cause no one comes by to take the apples! So a*0 = 0 where a is how many apples you give away per person, which doesn't matter. Now for an explanation hinging slightly more on mathematical notation: Multiplication is basically addition, done over and over again. Multiplying a number n by 2 means adding n twice --> n + n Multiplying a number by 7 means adding it seven times --> n + n + n + n + n + n + n Multiplying a number a gazillion times means n + n + n ... (a gazillion n's) So what you multiply 'n' by tells you the number of n you have to add together. If you multiply n by 0, then there are no n's in the picture. Since you are not adding anything, you are left with nothing, aka 0. So: 2*n = n + n (two n's on this side) 7*n = n + n + n + n + n + n + n (seven n's on this side) 0*n = (how many n's do you see on this side? None. 88 Likes 9 Shares |

Luke Williams called this kind a of question, a disruptive question that need a disruptive solution, this is how great ideas is born. When you try to turn upside down or turn back from the norm, you become genius. OP please be my friend, I need a great thinkers like you to share mind with. 26 Likes 4 Shares |
