Multiplying by 10 adds 1 zero(s), so 7,000 x 10 = 70,000.

7{,}000 \times 10 = 70{,}000

Multiplying by a power of ten shifts every digit left, tacking on zeros.

#11 Work Backwards 4.NBT.A.1

Start from 7. To reach 70,000 the digits must move 4 place(s) left, which is multiplying by 10,000 (4 zero(s)). So 7 x 10,000 = 70,000.

7 \times 10{,}000 = 70{,}000

Going from 7 to 70,000 means appending 4 zero(s), i.e. multiplying by 10,000.

#9 Solve an Easier Related Problem 4.NBT.A.1

Since 7,000 x 10 = 70,000 = 7 x 10,000, the missing factor is 10,000.

Both sides equal 70,000, so 7 is multiplied by 10,000.

Answer: 10,000

Review

Check: 7 x 10,000 = 70,000 and 7,000 x 10 = 70,000, so both products match. The factor 10,000 is correct.

Guess and check with place value (tool 6): 7,000 is 7 x 1,000, so 7,000 x 10 = 7 x 1,000 x 10 = 7 x 10,000.

Since 800 x 100 = 80,000 = 8 x 10,000, the missing factor is 10,000.

800 \times 100 = 8 \times 10{,}000

Both sides equal 80,000, so 8 is multiplied by 10,000.

Answer: 10,000

Check: 8 x 10,000 = 80,000 and 800 x 100 = 80,000, so both products match. The factor 10,000 is correct.

Guess and check with place value (tool 6): 800 is 8 x 100, so 800 x 100 = 8 x 100 x 100 = 8 x 10,000.
