Multiples

 What are Multiples ?

We know the numbers 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ....... When these numbers are multiplied with the same number or another number , then we get the product of the numbers. This product of the numbers is the multiple of the numbers multiplied.

How can we find the multiples of a number ?

Finding multiples of any number seems very easy. We can follow the procedure mentioned below.

Example 1

Find out any five multiples of the number 15.

Any five multiples of 15 are as follows :

15 X 1 = 15      15 X 2 = 30     15 X 3 = 45      15 X 4 = 60     15 X 5 = 75

Hence, the five multiples of 15 are 15 , 30 , 45 , 60  and 75

Example 2

Find out any five multiples of 24.

Any five multiples of 24 are as follows :

24 X 1 = 24      24 X 5 = 120     24 X 8 = 192      24 X 10 = 240     24 X 15 = 360

Hence, the five multiples of 24 are 24 , 120 , 192 , 240  and 360
