We already know how to find {\color{red}{39}}\times1{\color{blue}{0}}. We join together {\color{red}{39}} and {\color{blue}{0}} :

{\color{red}{39}}\times1{\color{blue}{0}} = {\color{red}{39}}{\color{blue}{0}}

To see why this works, we can use a place value chart.

Step 1: First, we write down the place value chart for 39 :

ten thousands thousands hundreds tens ones
0 0 0 3 9

Step 2. Since we're multiplying by 10, we move all digits to the left by 1 place and place a zero in the empty cell on the right.

ten thousands thousands hundreds tens ones
0 0 3 9 \bbox[3pt, lightgray]{0}

We conclude that 39\times 10 = 390.

This process works because a digit in a given place value is 10 times smaller than the same digit one place value to the left. Therefore, to multiply a number by 10, we move all of the digits by one place to the left.

Use a place value chart to calculate the value of 232 \times 10.

EXPLANATION

Step 1. We write down the place value chart for 232 :

ten thousands thousands hundreds tens ones
0 0 2 3 2

Step 2. Since we're multiplying by 10, we move all digits to the left by 1 place and place a zero in the empty cell on the right.

ten thousands thousands hundreds tens ones
0 2 3 2 \bbox[3pt, lightgray]{0}

Therefore, 232\times 10 = 2,320.

Suppose that we want to find 3\times100 using a place value chart. We proceed as follows:

Step 1. We write down the place value chart for 3 :

ten thousands thousands hundreds tens ones
0 0 0 0 3

Step 2. Since 1{\color{blue}{00}} contains a block of \color{blue}2 zeros, we move all of the digits to the left by \color{blue}2 spaces and place zeros in the empty cells on the right.

ten thousands thousands hundreds tens ones
0 0 3 \bbox[3pt, lightgray]{0} \bbox[3pt, lightgray]{0}

We conclude that 3\times 100 = 300.

This works because multiplying a number by 100 is the same as multiplying by 10 twice, which means that we move to the left by two places.

EXPLANATION

Step 1: We write down the place value chart for 67 :

ten thousands thousands hundreds tens ones
0 0 0 6 7

Step 2: Since 1{\color{blue}{00}} contains a block of \color{blue}2 zeros, we move all values to the left by 2 places and place zeros in the empty cells on the right.

ten thousands thousands hundreds tens ones
0 6 7 \bbox[3pt, lightgray]{0} \bbox[3pt, lightgray]{0}

Therefore, the missing digits are 7 and 0.

A power of \mathbf{10} is a whole number where the leading digit is one, and the remaining digits are all zero.

For example, the following numbers are all powers of 10{:}

10, \qquad 100, \qquad 1,000, \qquad 10,000, \qquad 100,000.

Using a place value chart, we can multiply a number by any power of ten.

For example, suppose that we want to compute 7\times 1,000. We proceed as follows:

Step 1. We write down the place value chart for 7 :

ten thousands thousands hundreds tens ones
0 0 0 0 7

Step 2. We count the zeros in the power of 10. Our power of ten is 1,{\color{blue}{000}}, which contains a block of \color{blue}3 zeros. Therefore, we move all digits by \color{blue}3 places to the left and place zeros in the empty cells on the right.

ten thousands thousands hundreds tens ones
0 7 \bbox[3pt, lightgray]{0} \bbox[3pt, lightgray]{0} \bbox[3pt, lightgray]{0}

Therefore, 7\times 1,000 = 7,000.

EXPLANATION

We proceed as follows:

Step 1. We write down the place value chart for 15 :

ten thousands thousands hundreds tens ones
0 0 0 1 5

Step 2. Notice that 1,{\color{blue}000} contains a block of 3 zeros. So, we move all digits to the left by 3 places and place zeros in the empty cells on the right.

ten thousands thousands hundreds tens ones
1 \bbox[3pt, lightgray]{5} 0 \bbox[3pt, lightgray]{0} \bbox[3pt, lightgray]{0}

Therefore, the missing digits are 5,\,0, and 0.
