Best Answer

This is because of the identity property of multiplication

Anything mutiply by zero is zero.

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).

Why is ten subtracted by zero equals ten but zero divided by ten equals zero?

10 - 0 = 10 because any number minus 0 is itself.0/10 = 0 can be rearranged to make more sense: 0 = 0*10 (multiply both sides by 10) 0 = 0 (logical conclusion) therefore, 0/10 = 0 is true. In fact, this also proves that 0/anything = 0.
