studentofTruth: Action carried out in abstract can be zero but action carried out in reality is no action, that means the action never happened or not going to happen. That is the implication not disappearance of oranges like you insinuate. I have 10 oranges and gave out zero oranges. That is 10 x 0=0 In reality the zero means the giving out never happened so you still have the 10 oranges. That means its impossible to give out nothing in reality In reality, we are not talking about value we are talking about real objects and actions. The value you are talking about is still abstract. What is the value of zero in reality, nothing. What is the value of nothing in reality, it is still nothing. Nothing in the real sense of it is non existent. Simply put, zero is an abstract value for nothing in reality. 1 Like |

teepain: How do you apply commutative law of multiplication in real life? Of course, 0x2 is 2x0. Both 0 and 2 are factors of the multiplication but the first number is the constant and the second is the multiplier. In division, same applies, the first number is the numerator and the second the divisor or denominator. 2x3 | 2+2+2 4÷2 | 4/2 Which of these do you think a child will grasp easier? 2x3 = 0+3+3 = 6 Or 2x3 = 2+2+2 = 6

adanny01: You obviously didn't understand my post. Go back and read it again, but slowly this time so that you grab it. I was making a case that the product of multiplication is zero because the action never happened (zero action), and not that the non-zero element disappeared. The entire case was that the non-zero element (the 10 oranges, the 10 persons, the surgeon and his skills, or the fund manager's cash) is still very much present and never at any point ceased to exist! You misunderstood my post. Go and read it again. What I'm countering in your post is saying that zero is abstract. Zero means the absence/lack of value. The absence of something doesn't make it abstract. Don't cease to exist = never disappeared. 1 Like |

Cheato64:So if you deposit 5M into your account today... That's 5M Then tomorrow, you went to the bank, pick up a slip and filled the amount with zero naira...that's N0... Which is N5M x N0 you've deposited... Then you went to withdraw on Monday and the cashier tells you your account is empty base on sey you deposit N5m, come deposit zero naira on top, mathematically your N5M don vanish because of the zero naira you deposit.... Abeg the teller is right bah? You go let go bah? 1 Like

Bank tell dem sey dem have nothing left in their account because of the zero naira dem join on top the 10m.... Whether dem go remember this mathematical grammar and law |

adanny01: There are no constants in multiplication, hence the position of the factors of multiplication cannot affect the product of the numbers (commutative law of multiplication) The division of numbers does not obey the commutative law, hence the position of the numerator and denominator affects the final answer, hence 3/5 is not equal to 5/3. Which of these do you think a child will grasp easier? A child will grab whichever you present to him or her. But the most important thing is to present the concept that can answer most questions that may arise (the original post refers.) I have had some excellent results mentoring some young mathematicians who hated mathematics prior to my intervention. 1 Like |

Offpoint1: There is no multiplication in this case. That is addition. You deposited N10m and N0. That is 10 + 0 = 10. You still have N10m in the account. |

studentofTruth: Are you aware that Zero is a concept and was actually created with civilization. Zero does have a complex history and use. Have you been close to children? They teach children to count numerically 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. At what point are they taught the value of of Zero? Check the pictures below, these are typical multiplication tables. Ask yourself why Zero is not there. 1 has a value in reality 0 has no value in reality -1 has no value in reality The problem is you know math and understand what zero is, but to the person who has not been a math studént will not understand what 0 is because it has no value in real life. What are natural numbers in math, they are 1, 2 ,3...... what are imaginary numbers .... -3, -2, -1 Where is zero, even mathematics knows zero is abstract

I have 1000 naira in my pocket, I tried multiple times to get 1k and add to it but I got it in zero 0 times. My 1k isn't lost still remains in my pocket. Though there are some mathematical laws I don't go with and could be challenged but to get good grades, good qualifications we all keep quiet so as not to score zero and fail. |

Offpoint1: Better still, If they deposit N10m in an interest yeilding account. End of the month, the account yeilded 0 interest. Will they then accept 0 capital as deposit?. Since N10m x 0 =0. Some basic maths is Scam. I know there are other explanations and rationalisations, but we need to examine this first. I don tire..... |

BobFischer: Going by this logic, in the second case, the hundred naira availability is not the issue but the 'receiving' aspect. Mathematics deal with the resultant effect of an action or an inaction. |

Re: Why Is Any Number Multiplied By Zero Equals To Zero? by Angrymode: 11:22pm On Jan 14, 2021 |
OP, the multiplication operation is simply repeated addition and it is also commutative. Hence, 0 × 5 = 5 × 0 = 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 5 in zero place = 0. I hope this helps. |
