Multiplication by 10 represents equal groups of ten, so the facts through produce the multiples ; each product has zero in the ones place, reflecting its place-value structure. The related forms and express the same product through the commutative property and support later work with place value and multi-digit multiplication, without extending to generalized rules for multiplying larger numbers by 10.
Multiplying by means making equal groups of .
For example, solve:
So,
The answer is a multiple of , so it has in the ones place.
You can also write the same fact in the other order:
Both multiplication facts have the same product.
