0×101

0×101 is a mathematical expression representing the product of 0 and 101. The multiplication symbol × indicates that the two numbers are being multiplied, and the result is 0.

This example illustrates the zero property of multiplication: the product of zero and any number is always zero. More generally, for any number a, 0×a = 0 and a×0 = 0. This property is fundamental in arithmetic and is frequently used to simplify expressions and solve equations.

In written mathematics, × is common for multiplication. In most programming languages, however, the asterisk (*) is used as the multiplication operator, and the symbol × is typically not valid syntax in code. The expression 0×101 is therefore primarily a mathematical notation rather than a typical programmatic one.

There is a potential for confusion with similar-looking notations. For example, 0×101 should not be confused with 0x101, which is hexadecimal notation used in many programming languages to denote a single numeric literal. 0x101 represents the hexadecimal value 101, which equals 257 in decimal, whereas 0×101 evaluates to 0.

Examples:

- 0×101 = 0

- 0×123 = 0

The expression serves as a straightforward instance of the zero property and is a standard example used to teach basic multiplication and simplification concepts.
