What are Multiples in Math with Examples? | Multiples List 1 to 100

Multiples are a fundamental concept in mathematics that has numerous practical applications. As we all know, multiplication tables serve as the foundation for finding the multiples of given numbers.

This article will explain what multiples are in mathematics, how to find the multiples of a given integer, and give detailed examples of multiples. Scroll down to find out more.

What are the properties of Multiples?

The properties of multiples are explained below.

A given integer has an unlimited number of multiples. As an illustration, let’s put M(2) = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, etc. for the multiples of 2.

All numbers are multiples of one another. Example: 3=3×1, where 3 is a multiple of 3.

The result of multiplying any number by 0 is always 0. For instance, 0x2=0

A number is bigger than or equal to every multiple of that number. Multiples of 5 are known to be 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50. Each multiple in this case is larger than or equal to 5.

The section below provides a step-by-step explanation of the multiples’ attributes.

Property 1: Every Number has 1 as a Multiple.

Example: 1 × 42 = 42
1 × 524 = 524
1 × 9 = 9
When we multiply 1 by any number, we obtain the provided number.

Property 2: Every number is its own Multiple

Example: 464 = 1 × 464
24 = 1 × 24
Given that we know that 1 is a factor, multiplying by 1 gives the same outcome.
Every number is therefore a multiple of it in and of itself.

Property 3: There are infinite ways to multiply a given integer.

Let’s write the multiples of 2 for illustration.
M(2) = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22,…..}
Since there are infinite numbers, there will also be an endless number of multiples of 2.
Thus, it demonstrates that “There are an unlimited number of multiples of a given integer.”

Property 4: There are Multiples of every number

Every number has an indefinite number of multiples except for the number 0.
Example:
M(2) = {0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22,…..}
M(3) = {0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33,…}
M(…) = {…….}

Property 5: Any number multiplied by 0 will always result in 0

Any number which multiplies with Zero will always result in 0.

Example: For instance, we obtain 0 when we multiply 2 by 0.
0 × 2 = 0
The result of multiplying 0 by 649 is 0.
0 × 649 = 0
The result of multiplying 25 by 0 is zero.
25 × 0 = 0
The result of multiplying 16 by 0 is zero.

What is a Common Multiple in Maths?

The multiples that a certain group of numbers share are known as common multiples.

For example, we can list the multiples of 3 and 6 individually and then look for the multiples that appear in both lists to determine the common multiples of 3 and 6, for instance.

You can list the multiples of three as 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and so on. You can list the multiples of six as 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, and so on.

The multiples that are present in both lists, assuming we discover them, are 6, 12, and 18. The term “common multiples of 3 and 6” refers to these.

Common Multiples of 6 and 8

Multiples of 6 = 6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48

Multiples of 8 = 8,16,24,32,40,48,56

Thus, the common multiples of 6 and 8 can be listed as, 24, 48, and so on.

Multiples and Factors

Definition of Factors: Factors are those numbers that divide another number exactly while leaving a zero as the remainder. Another way to put it is that the factor of the dividend is the divisor if the dividend is exactly divided by the factor, leaving zero factors. Every number shares the number itself and the number one in common.

Both factors and multiples are related to each other. For example, the number 20 is a multiple of the digits 4 and 5. Alternatively, the factors of the number 20 are the digits 4 and 5.  

Here, factors have divided the other number without any remainder. Similarly, when one number is multiplied by another, we have got the products that are known as multiples.

How to find the Factors of a number?

Finding all the finite integers that divide the given number so that there is no remainder after division is necessary to determine a number’s factors.

For example, if we use the number 28, as an example, then 28, 14, 7, 4, 2, and 1 are all the integers that divide 28 perfectly. Therefore, each of these numbers is a factor of the number 28. The number itself and the number 1 are the two fundamental components of every number, it should be remembered. 

What is the difference between factors and multiples?

The difference between factors and multiples are given below:

FactorMultiples
1. The exact divisors of a number are referred to as factors.1. The result of multiplying two or more integers is known as a multiple.
2. Division is the procedure used to identify a number’s factors.2. Multiplication is the procedure used to find the multiples.
3. The result of the variables must be less than or equal to the specified amount.3. The results of the multiples must exceed or be equal to the specified number.
4. There are a finite number of components.4. There are an unlimited amount of multiples.

What are the common properties of Factors and Multiples?

You should look through examples of different types of factors and multiples in order to comprehend the notion of factors and multiples. Additionally, a few specific qualities help to make the idea obvious and succinct. The following list of important properties includes some:

There is one thing that all numbers have in common: 1

There is a multiple of every number, namely 0.

Only whole numbers can use the multiples and factors concepts.

Every number consists of at least two components, namely the number 1 and the actual number.

The largest element is the number itself, and the smallest factor is the number 1.

The number itself is the only multiple of each number. There is a finite number of factors and an infinite number of multiples of each number.

If a number only contains the number itself and the number 1, it is said to be a prime number.

Solved Examples

A few solved examples of Multiples are explained below:

Solved Example 1: What are the first 3 multiples of 11?
Answer:
The first 3 multiples of 11 in the set of Natural Numbers are: 0, 11, 22
Explanation:
0 is a multiple of 11 because 11 x 0 = 0
11 is a multiple of 11 because 11 x 1 = 11
22 is a multiple of 11 because 11 x 2 = 22

Solved Example 2: What are 5 multiples of 17?
Answer:
The first five multiples of 17 are 17, 34, 51, 68, 85, 102, etc.
We can observe that it is a sequence where the difference between each next number and the preceding number, i.e., two consecutive multiples or products, is equal to 17.

Solved Example 3: What is the smallest multiple of 17?
The smallest multiple of 17 is 0. Apart from zero, 17 is the smallest multiple of 17.

Solved Example 4: What can we multiply to get 17?
Answer:
To get 17, we need to multiply 17 with 1 or 1 with 17.
17 x 1 = 17
1 x 17 = 17

Solved Example 5: What is 60 a multiple of?
60 is a multiple of 6. Thus, 6 and all its multiples are common multiples of 6 and 60.

Solved Example 6: 10, 30, 50, 60 are all the multiples of ___
Answer:
10, 30, 50, and 60 are multiples of 1, 2, 5, and 10.
