Zero multiplied by any number is Zero.  Thus, there is no unique number that can be multiplied by Zero and result in obtaining 45.
Multiplication is the process of adding a number a multiple number of times.  For example:  45 x 1 is to add 45 once.  Thus 45 x 1 = 45,  and 45 x 2 = 45 + 45 = 90

But 45 x 0, means to never add a single multiple of 45.
