It might have something to do with what number is divided by what number
in each case. It's somewhat difficult for me to nail it with any better precision
than that, since I can't see the examples.
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
Only one: the second digit.
Yes, but only if the second integer is not zero.
A quotient is a binary operation. That means, you can calculate the quotient of two numbers. There cannot be a quotient of only one number.
A quotient is the result of a division of one number by another. You cannot have a quotient (or a product, or a sum) for only one number.
7 zeros (and only two Ls in million!)
Only division operations can have a quotient. 8 alone is not a division operation.
425 is less than 100*9 = 900 so the first digit of the quotient cannot be in the hundreds (or higher) place. 425 is greater than (or equal to) 10*9 = 90 so the first digit of the quotient cannot be in the units (or lower) place. That only leaves the tens place.
Yes but only if the denominator is 0 (so the quotient is not defined).
False, Zeros are only significant digits when there is a primary number such as 1 before the as in 3200, then two zeros are counted but if zeros are before as in 0.032 than the only digits counted are 3 and 2.
In the English language there is 12 zeros. This is called short scale. In the long scale there is 18 zeros. This is frequent in other languages besides american. The United States uses 12 zeros.
