+859 A terminal zero is a $0$ that appears at the end of a number. For example, the number $3,800$ has two terminal zeros.
How many terminal zeroes does $40 \cdot 6 \cdot 75 \cdot 12$ have?
+1926 Let's identify all the ways we can get a terminal 0.
First, since 40 has a terminal 0, we already have 1.
Since \(75*12\) also has a terminal 0, which makes it 2.
Lastly, \(6*75\) has one terminal 0, making 3.
We could also multiply everything out. We have
\(40 \cdot 6 \cdot 75 \cdot 12=216000\)
As shown, there are 3 terminal 0s.
So 3 is our answer.
Thanks! :)
