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.

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

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

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

Answer: 10,000

4 · Reviewdoes it hold up?

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

Another way: 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.

Answer: 100,000

4 · Reviewdoes it hold up?

Check: 17 x 100,000 = 1,700,000 and 1,700 x 1,000 = 1,700,000, so both products match. The factor 100,000 is correct.

Another way: Guess and check with place value (tool 6): 1,700 is 17 x 100, so 1,700 x 1,000 = 17 x 100 x 1,000 = 17 x 100,000.

4.NBT.A.1 Recognize that a digit represents ten times what it represents in place to its right — Using the times-ten place-value shift to relate 1,700 x 1,000 and 17 x 100,000.

💡Takeaway. This only needs Grade 4 place-value sense: every times-ten just slides the digits one place and adds a zero!
