Multiples of 1500
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 1500, you could just multiply 1500 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 1500, start at 1500 and keep adding 1500 over and over: 1500, 3000, 4500, 6000, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 1500.
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 1500?
Let’s find the first 10 multiples of 1500 by multiplying:
1500
∗
1
=
1500
1500 * 1 = 1500
1500 ∗ 1 = 1500
1500
∗
2
=
3000
1500 * 2 = 3000
1500 ∗ 2 = 3000
1500
∗
3
=
4500
1500 * 3 = 4500
1500 ∗ 3 = 4500
1500
∗
4
=
6000
1500 * 4 = 6000
1500 ∗ 4 = 6000
1500
∗
5
=
7500
1500 * 5 = 7500
1500 ∗ 5 = 7500
1500
∗
6
=
9000
1500 * 6 = 9000
1500 ∗ 6 = 9000
1500
∗
7
=
10500
1500 * 7 = 10500
1500 ∗ 7 = 10500
1500
∗
8
=
12000
1500 * 8 = 12000
1500 ∗ 8 = 12000
1500
∗
9
=
13500
1500 * 9 = 13500
1500 ∗ 9 = 13500
1500
∗
10
=
15000
1500 * 10 = 15000
1500 ∗ 10 = 15000
So, the first 10 multiples of 1500 are: 1500, 3000, 4500, 6000, 6000, 9000, 10500, 12000, 13500 and 15000.
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.
