How many zeros are in the product of any nonzero whole number less than 10 and 500

If the non-zero whole number is even, then there are 3 zeroes

If the non-zero whole number is odd, then there are 2 zeroes

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the information in the problem

- Whole numbers are positive numbers, including zero, without

 any decimal or fractional

- Nonzero whole numbers are positive numbers, not including zero

- The non-zero whole numbers less then 10 are:

  1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9

- The product of any nonzero whole number less than 10 and 500

  means multiply any of nonzero number above by 500

- The number of zeros in the product is equal to the sum of the

  number of zeros at the end of each of the factors.

# 1 × 500 = 5 × 100 ⇒ 2 zeros

# 2 × 500 = 2 × 5 × 100 = 10 × 100 ⇒ 3 zeros

# 3 × 500 = 3 × 5 × 100 = 15 × 100 ⇒ 2 zeros

# 4 × 500 = 2 × 2 × 5 × 100 = 2 × 10 × 100 ⇒ 3 zeros

# 5 × 500 = 5 × 5 × 100 = 25 × 100 ⇒ 2 zeroes

# 6 × 500 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 100 = 3 × 10 × 100 ⇒ 3 zeros

# 7 × 500 = 7 × 5 × 100 = 35 × 100 ⇒ 2 zeroes

# 8 × 500 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 100 = 4 × 10 × 100 ⇒ 3 zeros

# 9 × 500 = 3 × 3 × 5 × 100 = 45 × 100 ⇒ 2 zeros

- From all answers above:

# If the non-zero whole number is even (2 , 4 , 6 , 8), then there are

  3 zeros in the product

# If the non-zero whole number is odd (1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , 9), then there are

  2 zeros in the product

answer: 88
