Multiples of 505
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 505, you could just multiply 505 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 505, start at 505 and keep adding 505 over and over: 505, 1010, 1515, 2020, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 505.
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 505?
Let’s find the first 10 multiples of 505 by multiplying:
505
∗
1
=
505
505 * 1 = 505
505 ∗ 1 = 505
505
∗
2
=
1010
505 * 2 = 1010
505 ∗ 2 = 1010
505
∗
3
=
1515
505 * 3 = 1515
505 ∗ 3 = 1515
505
∗
4
=
2020
505 * 4 = 2020
505 ∗ 4 = 2020
505
∗
5
=
2525
505 * 5 = 2525
505 ∗ 5 = 2525
505
∗
6
=
3030
505 * 6 = 3030
505 ∗ 6 = 3030
505
∗
7
=
3535
505 * 7 = 3535
505 ∗ 7 = 3535
505
∗
8
=
4040
505 * 8 = 4040
505 ∗ 8 = 4040
505
∗
9
=
4545
505 * 9 = 4545
505 ∗ 9 = 4545
505
∗
10
=
5050
505 * 10 = 5050
505 ∗ 10 = 5050
So, the first 10 multiples of 505 are: 505, 1010, 1515, 2020, 2020, 3030, 3535, 4040, 4545 and 5050.
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.
