In other words, for any number a, a × 0 = 0

Examples

9 × 0 = 0

-12 × 0 = 0

1/14 × 0 = 0

65411154 × 0 = 0

The zero property of multiplication can also apply to numerical and algebraic expressions.

The product of any numerical or algebraic expression and 0 is equal to zero.

Examples

(16 + 2) × 0 = 0

(x³ + 4x² - 8) × 0 = 0

(6 × 2 -7) × 0 = 0

(e^x + 2) × 0 = 0
