Charles, Zayeer, and Kali are trying to simplify 100023

Question

.

Charles says the correct simplification is 10 because 1000=10⋅10⋅10
and 100023=10
.

Zayeer says that the correct simplification is 1000 because 1000=10⋅10⋅10→100023=10⋅10⋅10=1000
.

Kali says the correct simplification is 100 because 1000=10⋅10⋅10→100023=10⋅10=100
.

Answer 1

To simplify \( 100023 \), we need to analyze the expression in terms of powers of \( 10 \).

The number \( 100023 \) can be expressed as \( 10^5 + 23 \). It does not simplify directly into a power of \( 10 \) or any products of \( 10 \) because \( 100023 \) is not a clean power of \( 10 \) and does not equal \( 10^{n} \) for any integer \( n \), nor can it be expressed purely as \( 10 \times \text{some number} \) since it contains an additive term \( 23 \).

• Charles proposed that it simplifies to \( 10 \), which is incorrect.
• Zayeer proposed that it simplifies to \( 1000 \), which is also incorrect.
• Kali proposed that it simplifies to \( 100 \), which is likewise incorrect.

Thus, the correct response is:
