A multiple is the product of a given 3×6 = 18
number and any whole number.
3×7 = 21 Some of the
3×8 = 24 multiples of 3
The smallest multiple of a number are 3, 6, 9, 12,
is the number itself. 3×9 = 27 15, 18, 21, 24,
3× = 30 27, and 30.

Example:
3×1 = 3
3×2 = 6
Another way of thinking of
multiples is relating the idea to skip 3×3 = 9
counting. 3×4 = 12
3×5 = 15
For instance, when counting by 4s, 3×6 = 18
4 and the numbers after 4 are its
multiples. So 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24,
3×7 = 21 Some of the
and 28 are some of the multiples of 3×8 = 24 multiples of 3
are 3, 6, 9, 12,
4. The first multiple is always the 3×9 = 27 15, 18, 21, 24,
number itself.
3× = 30 27, and 30.
