Simply by calculator,

112*5^4=70000.

Multiplication of a number by 5^n: Put n zeros to the right of the multiplicand and divide the number so formed by 2^n.

So (112 x 5^4) = 1120000/2^4 = 1120000/16 = 70000.

Note: It is only apply for 5^n.

Thank you.

@Shefali you nailed it. Just count the power of 5, and that many zeros have to be in answer.

Using the calculator we got the easy calculation.

(112*5*5*5*5) = 70000.

It's so simple.

= 16x7x5^4.

= 7x (2^4x5^4).

= 7x (2x5) ^4 = 70000.

We can simply check the number of zeros by determining the number of 5's.

Here, number of 5 = 4.

So, the answer will must have 4 zeros in last! So, here the answer will be 70000!

We can use simple method:

5^4 = 5*5*5*5 = 625.

Then this to multiply with 112.

You can easily get answer 112*625 = 70000.

This is simple method.

2x5 gives 0 at unit place.

2^2x5^2 gives two zeros at last of number i.e. at unit and tens place.

Similarly for higher power gives respective zeroes at end. Now you can easily solved it. No need for me to solve.
