Multiples of 2820
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 2820, you could just multiply 2820 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 2820, start at 2820 and keep adding 2820 over and over: 2820, 5640, 8460, 11280, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 2820.
There are an endless number of multiples! You can keep using either of these methods to find as many multiples as you would like.

2820 * 2 = 5640
2820 ∗ 2 = 5640
2820
∗
3
=
8460
2820 * 3 = 8460
2820 ∗ 3 = 8460
2820
∗
4
=
11280
2820 * 4 = 11280
2820 ∗ 4 = 11280
2820
∗
5
=
14100
2820 * 5 = 14100
2820 ∗ 5 = 14100
2820
∗
6
=
16920
2820 * 6 = 16920
2820 ∗ 6 = 16920
2820
∗
7
=
19740
2820 * 7 = 19740
2820 ∗ 7 = 19740
2820
∗
8
=
22560
2820 * 8 = 22560
2820 ∗ 8 = 22560
2820
∗
9
=
25380
2820 * 9 = 25380
2820 ∗ 9 = 25380
2820
∗
10
=
28200
2820 * 10 = 28200
2820 ∗ 10 = 28200
So, the first 10 multiples of 2820 are: 2820, 5640, 8460, 11280, 11280, 16920, 19740, 22560, 25380 and 28200.
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.
