In mathematics, an empty product, or nullary product or vacuous product, is the result of multiplying no factors.It is by convention equal to the multiplicative identity (assuming there is an identity for the multiplication operation in question), just as the empty sum—the result of adding no numbers—is by convention zero, or the additive identity.
zeros. If n < 5, the inequality is satisfied by k = 0; in that case the sum is empty, giving the answer 0. The formula actually counts the number of factors 5 in n!, but since there are at least as many factors 2, this is equivalent to the number of factors 10, each of which gives one more trailing zero.

One Hour Photo is a 2002 American psychological thriller film [2] [3] written and directed by Mark Romanek and starring Robin Williams, Connie Nielsen, Michael Vartan, Gary Cole and Eriq La Salle. The film was produced by Catch 23 Entertainment, Killer Films and John Wells Productions and released by Fox Searchlight Pictures .
Null sets play a key role in the definition of the Lebesgue integral: if functions and are equal except on a null set, then is integrable if and only if is, and their integrals are equal. This motivates the formal definition of L p {\displaystyle L^{p}} spaces as sets of equivalence classes of functions which differ only on null sets.
The parity of zero is relevant to odd–even rationing, in which cars may drive or purchase gasoline on alternate days, according to the parity of the last digit in their license plates. Half of the numbers in a given range end in 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and the other half in 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, so it makes sense to include 0 with the other even numbers.
In set theory, the empty set, that is, the set with zero elements, denoted "{}" or "∅", may also be called null set. [3] [5] In measure theory, a null set is a (possibly nonempty) set with zero measure. A null space of a mapping is the part of the domain that is mapped into the null element of the image (the inverse image of the null element).
In the past, "0" (the numeral zero) was occasionally used as a symbol for the empty set, but this is now considered to be an improper use of notation. [3] The symbol ∅ is available at Unicode point U+2205 ∅ EMPTY SET. [4] It can be coded in HTML as ∅ and as ∅ or as ∅. It can be coded in LaTeX as \varnothing.
Signed zero is zero with an associated sign.In ordinary arithmetic, the number 0 does not have a sign, so that −0, +0 and 0 are equivalent. However, in computing, some number representations allow for the existence of two zeros, often denoted by −0 (negative zero) and +0 (positive zero), regarded as equal by the numerical comparison operations but with possible different behaviors in ...
