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.
