Multiples of 504
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 504, you could just multiply 504 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 504, start at 504 and keep adding 504 over and over: 504, 1008, 1512, 2016, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 504.
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 504?
Let’s find the first 10 multiples of 504 by multiplying:
504
∗
1
=
504
504 * 1 = 504
504 ∗ 1 = 504
504
∗
2
=
1008
504 * 2 = 1008
504 ∗ 2 = 1008
504
∗
3
=
1512
504 * 3 = 1512
504 ∗ 3 = 1512
504
∗
4
=
2016
504 * 4 = 2016
504 ∗ 4 = 2016
504
∗
5
=
2520
504 * 5 = 2520
504 ∗ 5 = 2520
504
∗
6
=
3024
504 * 6 = 3024
504 ∗ 6 = 3024
504
∗
7
=
3528
504 * 7 = 3528
504 ∗ 7 = 3528
504
∗
8
=
4032
504 * 8 = 4032
504 ∗ 8 = 4032
504
∗
9
=
4536
504 * 9 = 4536
504 ∗ 9 = 4536
504
∗
10
=
5040
504 * 10 = 5040
504 ∗ 10 = 5040
So, the first 10 multiples of 504 are: 504, 1008, 1512, 2016, 2016, 3024, 3528, 4032, 4536 and 5040.
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.
