Methods for Finding Multiples: from a Math Tutor
Our math tutors suggest that to get started with multiples, the easiest way is just to add a number to itself over and over again. For instance, if you want to find the multiples of 72 using this method, you could start at 72, and keep adding 72 over and over: 72, 144, 216, 288, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 72. Usually, this method works with numbers that are easily added to itself. As you get into larger numbers, it can become difficult to continue adding.
Another way to do this, as discussed above, is to use choose any number and multiply it by 72. To find the first few multiples of 72, you could just multiply the 72 by 1, then 2, then 3, and so on, until you have as many multiples as you would like.
There are an endless number of multiples! You can keep using either of these methods to find as many multiples as you would like.
