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.

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.
