\[0\times 1\]

1690867738657


Mathematically you can conclude the following

\[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}}

2\times 10+0\times 1 \\

=20+0 \\

=20 \\

\end{array}\]

Here, you notice that "20" has only two non-zero digits, 2 and 0, in its ten’s place and unit’s place, subsequently.

How Do You Write "20 Rupees" In Words?

In the term "20 rupees” you can see that the number "20" is clearly showing the specific unit "rupees" after it.

You can easily write the corresponding English word for the number. Then put the unit “rupees” after this number in words.

So, to write "20 rupees” in words, you have to mention it as “Twenty rupees”.

Is "20" An Even Or An Odd Number?

You can differentiate between an even and an odd number on the basis of the following.

  • Any number that can completely be divided by 2 with no remainder, denotes an “even number”.

  • A particular number that cannot completely be divided by 2 and displays at least 1 as the remainder, defines an “odd number”.

You discover that this number "20" is completely divisible by 2. As a result, you have \[20=10\times 2\] 1690867739194. So, you correctly infer that it is not an odd number but an “even number”.

Is "20" A Perfect Square Number?

You multiply any integer with itself once to get a perfect square. Thus expressing any number as the product of two equal real numbers reveals that the number is a “perfect square number”.

\[20={{2}^{2}}\times 5\]

1690867740091

Here, you cannot represent "20" in terms of a product resulting from the multiplication of two equal real numbers. Therefore, you correctly understand that the number "20" is not a perfect square.

Is "20" A Perfect Cube Number?

You multiply any integer with itself twice to get a perfect cube. Thus expressing any number as the product of three equal real numbers reveals that the number is a “perfect cube number”.

\[20={{2}^{2}}\times 5\]

1690867739820

Here you cannot display "20" as being equal to any possible product involving the multiplication of three equal real numbers. Hence, the number "20" is not a perfect cube.

Is The Number "20" A PrimeOr A Composite?

You can differentiate between a prime and a composite number on the basis of the following.

  • Any number that splits itself into only two factors,1 and the number itself, denotes a “prime number”.

  • Any number that splits itself into more than two factors, defines a“composite number”.

\[\text{Factors of 20}=\ 1,\ 2,\ 4,\ 5,\ 10,\ 20\]

1690867739680

Here you discover more than two factors for the number "20". Thus, "20" is a “composite number” and, hence, it is never a prime number.

Is The Number "20" Cardinal?

You categorize any natural or counting number as a “cardinal number”.

The number "20" is denoting a particular counting number, thus designating it under the category of “cardinal numbers”.

Can You Write "20" As An Ordinal Number?

You know that an ordinal number is used to denote specifically any particular place or position in a set, series, or collection. Here, the cardinal number is identified by its adjoining extension “st” or “rd” or “th”, as appropriately placed next to its numeric value. For example 11th, 12th, 131st, 32nd, and so on.

Thus, you can write “20th” to denote an “ordinal number”.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Write the minimum value of a positive integer to be multiplied by "20" to get a perfect square?

You can represent any perfect square number in terms of the equivalent product resulting from any two equal real numbers.

\[20={{2}^{2}}\times 5\]

By inspecting the above factorization, you get that 5 is the required minimum valued positive integer that has to be multiplied by "20" to achieve the  perfect square.

\[\begin{align}

  20\times 5={{2}^{2}}\times 5\times 5 \\ 

 ={{2}^{2}}\times {{5}^{2}} \\ 

 ={{10}^{2}} \\ 

 =100  

\end{align}\]

The calculated minimum valued integer is 5.

2. Write the utility of place value in the decimal number system?

The place values of the digits present in any number help to define the number in the decimal number system. The place values are marked taking the reference to the rightmost digit of the number. The place value shows increments as the powers of 10 as you gradually shift towards the left side from the referred rightmost digit of the number.

Thousandth place value

Hundredth place value

Ten’s place value

Unit or One’s place value

\[\times 1000\ \text{times}\]

\[\times 100\ \text{times}\]

\[\times 10\ \text{times}\]

\[\times 1\ \text{time}\]

Thus you get the following

\[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}}

   250=2\times 100+5\times 10+0\times 1  \\

   =200+50+0  \\

   =\text{two hundred and fifty}  \\

   2500=2\times 1000+5\times 100+0\times 10+0\times 1  \\

   =2000+500+0+0  \\

   =\text{two thousand and five hundred}  \\

\end{array}\]

.
