A:
Multiples of 1960 Methods Methods for Finding Multiples: For a beginner, you can find the multiples of a number by skip-counting to the next number. For Instance, if you want to find the multiples of 1960, you could start at 1960, and keep adding 1960 over and over: 1960, 3920, 5880, 7840, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 1960. Typically, this works best only for smaller numbers, as adding larger numbers together over and over can be difficult. Another way to do this is to use multiplication. To find the first few multiples of 1960, you could just multiply 1960 by each number in sequence, first multiplying by 1, then 2, then 3, and so on, which we will outline below. What are the Multiples of 1960? So, what are the multiples of 1960? Let’s write it out using the multiplication method: 1960 × 1 = 1960 1960 × 1 = 1960 1960 × 1 = 1960 1960 × 2 = 3920 1960 × 2 = 3920 1960 × 2 = 3920 1960 × 3 = 5880 1960 × 3 = 5880 1960 × 3 = 5880 1960 × 4 = 7840 1960 × 4 = 7840 1960 × 4 = 7840 1960 × 5 = 9800 1960 × 5 = 9800 1960 × 5 = 9800 1960 × 6 = 11760 1960 × 6 = 11760 1960 × 6 = 11760 1960 × 7 = 13720 1960 × 7 = 13720 1960 × 7 = 13720 1960 × 8 = 15680 1960 × 8 = 15680 1960 × 8 = 15680 1960 × 9 = 17640 1960 × 9 = 17640 1960 × 9 = 17640 1960 × 10 = 19600 1960 × 10 = 19600 1960 × 10 = 19600 So, the first 10 multiples of 1960 are: 1960, 3920, 5880, 7840, 9800, 11760, 13720, 15680, 17640 and 19600. There are an endless number of multiples of 1960. You could choose any number to multiply by 1960 to find a new multiple! Interesting Facts about Multiples • Every number is considered the smallest multiple of itself. • A multiple of a number is very often also the multiple of another number. This is because if you multiply two numbers together, the result is a multiple of both numbers. • All multiples of even numbers are even. • The multiples of odd numbers, in sequence, alternate between odd and even numbers. • You can also find the negative multiples of a number by multiplying by negative numbers.
