Multiples

A multiple is referred to as a product of an integer or any quantity. In simple terms, a multiple is a number divided by another number for a certain time without remaining. A multiple can also be described as a number that you get when you multiply one whole number by another whole number. Multiplication tables are used to find multiples.

Let’s look at the simple illustration. For instance, here are the first five (non-zero) multiples of 6. They are 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30. Another example is 4×5=20. Therefore, 20 is a multiple of 4 and 5. Furthermore, the multiples of 4 are 4(4×1=4), 8(4×2=8), 12(4×3=12), etc. Moreover, multiples help you to explore and understand mathematical concepts.

Let’s get started to learn more about multiples.

Types of Multiples

Multiples – The numbers you get by multiplying a number by natural numbers. E.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,…

Common Multiples – It refers to a whole number that is a shared multiple by at least two numbers.

Least Common Multiple (LCM) – Refers to the smallest common multiple shared by two or more integers

Solved examples

Example 1: Find the multiples of 517

Multiply 517 by any natural numbers (Note multiples are infinite hence we will list a few)

517 × 1= 517

517 × 2 = 1034

517 × 3 = 1551

517 × 4 = 2068

517 × 5 = 2585

517 × 6 = 3102

517 × 7 = 3619

517 × 8= 4136

517 × 9= 4653

517 × 10= 5170

 The multiples of 517 are 517, 1034, 1551, 2068, 2585, 3102, 3619, 4136, 4653, 5170 …….

Example 2: Find the multiples of 90

Multiply 90 by random natural positive numbers

90 × 1= 90

90 × 2= 180

90 × 3 = 270

90 × 4 = 360

90 × 5 = 450

90 × 6 = 540

90 × 7 = 630

90 × 8 = 720

90 × 9 = 810

90 × 10 = 900

The multiples of 90 are: 90, 180, 270, 360, 450, 540, 630, 720, 810, 900…..

Interesting properties about Multiples

●        The least multiple of a given number is the number itself. It is because every number can be multiplied by 1 and get the same number.

●        Each multiple of a number is either greater than or equal to the number.  For instance, multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 28, etc.

●        All multiples of number 2 are even numbers. They include 2,4,6,8,20,12,14 etc.

●        The number of multiples of a number is infinite. For instance, multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 etc.

●        The smallest common multiple for at least two numbers is known as the Least Common Multiple LCM

●        Each number is a multiple of itself

●        Every number is a multiple of 1

●        Zero is a multiple of every number because every number multiplied by zero is zero
