If you MULTIPLY the numbers then the answer is 9x8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1x0 which equals 0

Ahhhh... that question makes more sense

The answer will be different depending on the order you multiply... so there are TONS of different answers to that question... right?

**salocius** · 20-09-2006, 07:21 AM

No, the answer will always be 0, regardless of the order you do it in.
The numbers 1 to 9 can my multiplied in any order but as soon as you multiply them by the 0, the answer will be zero!!

Sorry Parker but I have to agree with Salocius here...

Anything Multiplied by Zero is Zero...

Also, it would not matter what order you multipied the numbers the answer would always be the same

1*9 = 9
9*1 = 9
1*2*3=6
3*2*1=6
2*1*3=6
2*3*1=6
etc, etc, etc....

In maths we say that multiplication is a commutative operation: It does not matter what order the numbers are in, the result is always the same.
