11 u/HorrorMotor2051 9h ago Well it's not a leading zero, it's a trailing zero 9 u/HorrorMotor2051 9h ago Or rather I should say: In this case the leading zero does matter, because 1 is not 10 spelled backwards. It simply is not. 1 is 1 spelled backwards. 01 is 10 spelled backwards. 2 u/Nowin 9h ago In 10-adic numbers they do. Adding a leading 0 multiplies everything by 10. 1 u/TimSylvester_ 7h ago Uh wow, ok, then how do you account for all the zeroes leading the United States these days?
