As you divide and increase the number of decimal places, each zero is a holder of the decimal place. It must be used to take the level of accuracy of the answer to a decimal fraction that is 10 times as small as the previous decimal fraction.

What does 600 x 800 equal?

the answer is 480,000. Because both numbers have two zeros you can cancel out the zeros and add them later. So now you are left with 6×8. If you take six and add it to itself eight times, you get 48. Now we can deal with the zeros. Because we dropped 2 zeros from 600 and 2 zeros from 800 you get a total of 4 dropped zeros. You can take these zeros and add them onto 48. Adding 1 zero gets you 480. 2 zeros, 4,800. 3 zeros, 48,000. And finally 4 zeros, 480,000!! You can check your work by dividing 480,000 by 6 OR 8. If you divide by 6 your answer should be 8, and if you divide by 8 your answer should be 6.

How is the number of zeros in the quotient of 160 divided by 8 equals 20 related to the number of zeroes in the dividend?

They are the same. The quotient of the equation: 160/8 = 20 is 20, which has only one zero. The dividend of this equation is 160, which also has only one zero. Therefore they both have the same number of zeros
