what are multiples of numbers. like 5 8 and 7?
Any number which has been multiplied by a whole number is a multiple of that number
so multiples of 5 are
5 10 15 20 25 30 ....
multiples of 8 are
8 16 18 24 ...
multiples of 8 are
8, 16, 24, 32 (not 18)
there are no multiples 4 7 because of how it can only b divided by 1 and itself (7).
Multiples of a given number are values that can be obtained by multiplying that number by other whole numbers. In the case of the numbers 5, 8, and 7, let's find their multiples:
1. Multiples of 5: Start with the number 5 and then multiply it by various whole numbers:
- 5 x 1 = 5
- 5 x 2 = 10
- 5 x 3 = 15
- 5 x 4 = 20
...and so on.
2. Multiples of 8: Start with the number 8 and then multiply it by whole numbers:
- 8 x 1 = 8
- 8 x 2 = 16
- 8 x 3 = 24
- 8 x 4 = 32
...and so on.
3. Multiples of 7: Start with the number 7 and then multiply it by whole numbers:
- 7 x 1 = 7
- 7 x 2 = 14
- 7 x 3 = 21
- 7 x 4 = 28
...and so on.
These are some examples of the multiples for each number. The list of multiples continues indefinitely because you can always multiply the number by larger whole numbers to find more multiples.
