If the product of 2 whole numbers is zero, then one of them is definitely zero,

For example, 0 × 2 =0 and 17 × 0 = 0

It the product of 2 whole numbers is zero them both of them may be zero 0 × 0 = 0

However, 2 × 3 = 6

( Since number to be multiplied are not equal to zero, the result of the product will also be non-zero.
