Answer:

Multiplying a number by 10 makes calculations much easier

Explanation:

To multiply a number by
10^(n), add n zeroes to a number.

For example, 25×1000=25×10³=25000

Consider the following pattern:


5* 10=50\\5* 10^2=500\\5* 10^3=5000\\5* 10^4=50000\\5* 10^5=500000\\5* 10^6=5000000

So, basic rules of multiplying a number by 10 makes calculations much easier.

Foe example consider the following example:


26* 20* 30=26* (2* 10)* (3* 10)=26* 6* 100=15600
