assumptions assuming assume

When calculating limits of real-valued functions, sometimes (especially in competitions) tricky approaches are taken using pen and paper. I repeatedly encountered the simple conclusion that, for example, for natural k, the value sin(k*pi) = 0. Thus, the function value is determined logically without specifying a specific number. There are numerous other examples of this that can easily be constructed.
My question after unsuccessful attempts using "assume" is:
How, for example, does Maple determine the value of sin(k*pi) from the assumption "k is natural" alone? Are such prominent values ​​implemented in tables?
