According to the Multiplication Property of Zero, what is the product of any number and 0?
AThe same number
BEqual to one
CAlways undefined
DEqual to zero
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Equal to zero
1. Consider multiplying any number by zero, such as 0 x 11 or 42 x 0.
2. In both cases the result is zero, no matter what the other factor is.
3. The product of any number and 0 is 0, which is called the Multiplication Property of Zero.
4. The product is not the number itself, 1, or undefined, since multiplying by zero always gives zero exactly.
