Multiples of 400
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 400, you could just multiply 400 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 400, start at 400 and keep adding 400 over and over: 400, 800, 1200, 1600, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 400.
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 400?
Let’s find the first 10 multiples of 400 by multiplying:
400
∗
1
=
400
400 * 1 = 400
400 ∗ 1 = 400
400
∗
2
=
800
400 * 2 = 800
400 ∗ 2 = 800
400
∗
3
=
1200
400 * 3 = 1200
400 ∗ 3 = 1200
400
∗
4
=
1600
400 * 4 = 1600
400 ∗ 4 = 1600
400
∗
5
=
2000
400 * 5 = 2000
400 ∗ 5 = 2000
400
∗
6
=
2400
400 * 6 = 2400
400 ∗ 6 = 2400
400
∗
7
=
2800
400 * 7 = 2800
400 ∗ 7 = 2800
400
∗
8
=
3200
400 * 8 = 3200
400 ∗ 8 = 3200
400
∗
9
=
3600
400 * 9 = 3600
400 ∗ 9 = 3600
400
∗
10
=
4000
400 * 10 = 4000
400 ∗ 10 = 4000
So, the first 10 multiples of 400 are: 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 1600, 2400, 2800, 3200, 3600 and 4000.
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.
