Question – If the product of two whole numbers is zero can we say that one or both of them will be zero ? Justify through examples.
Solution 2. We can say that if the product of two whole numbers is zero, then either one or both of them are zeroes. This is because, any number multiplied by zero, becomes zero.
For example, 0 × 0 = 0
1 × 0 = 0
2 × 0 = 0… etc.
