Why do the products of multi-digit numbers with zeros and one-digit numbers sometimes have zeros in them and sometimes have no zeros in them?

When the one-digit number is multiplied by zero, the product is zero. However, sometimes there are regrouped numbers that need to be added to the product of zero.
