MULTIPLES OF A GIVEN NUMBER

PREPARED BY: TEACHER SED SILVA

 MULTIPLES OF A GIVEN NUMBER

DETERMINING THE MULTIPLES OF A NUMBER IS ONE OF THE

MOST IMPORTANT MATH SKILLS. IDENTIFYING THE MULTIPLES OF THE
GIVEN NUMBERS WILL LEAD YOU TO FIND THE COMMON MULTIPLES
AND THE GREATEST COMMON MULTIPLE OF THE GIVEN SET OF
NUMBERS.
 ANALYZE THIS PROBLEM:

EVERY MORNING, KEERA WATERS THE PLANTS IN HER GARDEN. SHE

FORGOT WHERE SHE PLANTED THE PAPAYA. SHE WANTS TO KNOW ON WHAT
NUMBER OF PLANT POT SHE PLANTED THE PAPAYA. ALL SHE REMEMBERED IS IT IS
ON 7TH PLANT POT ON HER RIGHT SIDE. PLANT POTS ON HER LEFT SIDE ARE
NUMBERED AS 1, 3, 5, 7 AND SO ON. ON HER RIGHT SIDE ARE NUMBERED AS 2,
4, 6, 8 AND SO ON. WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE NUMBER OF PLANT POT OF
PAPAYA?
 LET US HELP KEERA BY FINDING FIRST THE MULTIPLES
OF 2.

THE MULTIPLES OF A WHOLE NUMBER ARE FOUND BY TAKING THE PRODUCT OF

ANY COUNTING NUMBER AND THAT WHOLE NUMBER.
2X1=2 2X4=8 2 X 7 = 14
2X2=4 2 X 5 = 10 2 X 8 = 16
2X3=6 2 X 6 = 12 2 X 9 = 18…
• SINCE THE MULTIPLES OF 2 ARE 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14,
16, 18, 20, THE NUMBER OF PLANT POT OF THE
PAPAYA IS 14 BECAUSE IT IS IN 7TH PLANT POT.
 MULTIPLES ARE THE PRODUCT OF A NUMBER AND A
COUNTING NUMBER.

EXAMPLES:
9 X 1 = 9 9 X 2 = 18 9 X 3 = 27 9 X 4 = 36 9 X 5 = 45 9 X
6 = 54 …

SO 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54 ARE MULTIPLES OF 9.

MULTIPLES OF A NUMBER CAN ALSO BE FORMED BY
ADDING THE SAME NUMBER TO THE NEXT MULTIPLE:
LET'S TRY TO ANSWER!
GIVE THE NEXT FIVE MULTIPLES OF THE GIVEN
NUMBER IN ORDER.

 REMEMBER!

MULTIPLE IS THE PRODUCT OF ONE NUMBER MULTIPLIED

BY ANOTHER NUMBER.
MULTIPLES OF A NUMBER CAN ALSO BE FORMED BY
ADDING THE SAME NUMBER TO THE NEXT MULTIPLE
