KNOW YOUR VALUE
Zero is not nothing! It is a number that stands for nothing, and this is an important distinction. In many ways, zero is the most important of all numbers. When zero is added to or subtracted from a number, it leaves the number at its original value. A negative number added to its positive counterparts always equal zero. Zero is essential to representing many numbers such as 203 and 1024. In these numbers zero serves as a placeholder in the system known as positional notation. Thus in 203, there are two hundreds, zero tens a three ones. In other words, zero indicates that the value of the tens place is zero, in 1024, zero indicates that the value of the hundreds place zero. So....."Without zero, we wouldn't have hundreds, thousands or millions in our number system"
