Question from Adrian, a student: Give the result of the following computation as an integer. N.B. No calculators allowed |
Hi Adrian,
I can give you a hint to get you started
505 × 10,000,001 = 5,050,000,505
Perhaps the comas get in the way and it is better to see the numbers in chunks so writing this a different way
505 × 1 000000 1 = 505 0000 505
I hope this helps,
Penny
