Best Answer

When you multiply a number by a different number, you take as many groups of the first number as there are of the second number. For example, multiplying 2 by 3, you are taking three groups of 2. Three groups of two things are equal to six things; 2 times 3 = 6.

If you multiply by zero, you are taking zero groups of a number. Zero groups of something is nothing (zero).

So, applying this logic to the question...

Zero (0, nothing) multiplied by one, is one zero (i.e. one nothing!)

Zero (0, nothing) multiplied by three, is threenothings!

Zero (0, nothing) multiplied by three hundred, is three hundred nothings!

etc.

So, no matter how many nothings you have, you still have nothing!

Is multiply a greater number or part?

It depends. If you start with a positive number, then multiply by a positive greater than one and the answer is greater; multiply by 1 and the answer is the same; multiply by a number between 0 and 1 and the answer is smaller; multiply by 0 and the answer is 0; multiply by a number less than 0 and the answer is negative.
