Multiples of 132
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 132, you could just multiply 132 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 132, start at 132 and keep adding 132 over and over: 132, 264, 396, 528, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 132.
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 132?
Let’s find the first 10 multiples of 132 by multiplying:
132
∗
1
=
132
132 * 1 = 132
132 ∗ 1 = 132
132
∗
2
=
264
132 * 2 = 264
132 ∗ 2 = 264
132
∗
3
=
396
132 * 3 = 396
132 ∗ 3 = 396
132
∗
4
=
528
132 * 4 = 528
132 ∗ 4 = 528
132
∗
5
=
660
132 * 5 = 660
132 ∗ 5 = 660
132
∗
6
=
792
132 * 6 = 792
132 ∗ 6 = 792
132
∗
7
=
924
132 * 7 = 924
132 ∗ 7 = 924
132
∗
8
=
1056
132 * 8 = 1056
132 ∗ 8 = 1056
132
∗
9
=
1188
132 * 9 = 1188
132 ∗ 9 = 1188
132
∗
10
=
1320
132 * 10 = 1320
132 ∗ 10 = 1320
So, the first 10 multiples of 132 are: 132, 264, 396, 528, 528, 792, 924, 1056, 1188 and 1320.
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.
