Multiples of 215
Methods
Methods for Finding Multiples:
The most common way to find multiples is to use multiplication. Multiplication of whole numbers always results in multiples of the numbers being multiplied. To find the first few multiples of 215, you could just multiply 215 by 1, then 2, then 3, and so on, until you have as many multiples as you would like. This is shown in the next section.
For younger students that don’t know how to multiply yet, the same result can be found just by counting, or skip-counting. To find multiples of any number, just add the number to itself multiple times. For instance, if you want to find the multiples of 215, start at 215 and keep adding 215 over and over: 215, 430, 645, 860, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 215.
There are an endless number of multiples! You can keep using either of these methods to find as many multiples as you would like.
What are the Multiples of 215?
Let’s find the first 10 multiples of 215 by multiplying:
215
∗
1
=
215
215 * 1 = 215
215 ∗ 1 = 215
215
∗
2
=
430
215 * 2 = 430
215 ∗ 2 = 430
215
∗
3
=
645
215 * 3 = 645
215 ∗ 3 = 645
215
∗
4
=
860
215 * 4 = 860
215 ∗ 4 = 860
215
∗
5
=
1075
215 * 5 = 1075
215 ∗ 5 = 1075
215
∗
6
=
1290
215 * 6 = 1290
215 ∗ 6 = 1290
215
∗
7
=
1505
215 * 7 = 1505
215 ∗ 7 = 1505
215
∗
8
=
1720
215 * 8 = 1720
215 ∗ 8 = 1720
215
∗
9
=
1935
215 * 9 = 1935
215 ∗ 9 = 1935
215
∗
10
=
2150
215 * 10 = 2150
215 ∗ 10 = 2150
So, the first 10 multiples of 215 are: 215, 430, 645, 860, 860, 1290, 1505, 1720, 1935 and 2150.
Interesting Facts about Multiples
• The primary multiple of any number is itself.
• The result of any multiplication of whole numbers is a multiple of all the numbers being multiplied together. As such, every multiple is also a multiple of another number.
• Every multiple of even numbers will also be even.
• The successive multiples of odd numbers alternate between odd and even numbers.
• You can also find negative multiples of a number by multiplying by negative numbers.
