How to get the MULTIPLES of a natural number

In a PROFESSOR we will explain how to get the multiples of a natural number. The multiples of a number are the numbers that we obtain when we multiply that number by the natural numbers. An extremely exciting topic in the area of ​​mathematics: how to obtain the multiples of a number.

Before starting with the topic properly and giving you some examples to make understanding easier, we review some concepts that We consider they will be useful for you, since from a PROFESSOR we understand that each lesson is an opportunity to refresh knowledge of topics related.

As Professor Cristina explains in the video, a multiple can be obtained by multiplying of another natural number. And the result of this operation, naturally, will be a multiple of the original number of the operation.

To clarify this theoretical part a bit, from a PROFESSOR, as is our custom, we bring you some examples to make it easier to understand these questions.

So that you can better understand this lesson, here we leave you a series of examples of multiples that are obtained from a natural number, so that you better understand the contents that we indicate.

Get multiples of 5

For example: How to obtain the numbers multiples of 5, as we have mentioned previously, we proceed to multiply the 5 by the natural numbers

• 5 x 2 = 10
• 5 x 3 = 15
• 5 x 4 = 20
• 5 x 5 = 25
• 5 x 6 = 30
• 5 x 7 = 35

As our teacher Cristina has explained, the results of these operations are all multiples of 5.

Get multiples of 3

In this sense, we apply the same logic to find the natural numbers multiples of the number 3

Another example: how to get the numbers multiples of 3.

• 3 x 2 = 6
• 3 x 3 = 9
• 3 x 4 = 12
• 3 x 5 = 15
• 3 x 6 = 18
• 3 x 7 = 21

As we have mentioned in previous lines, in this case the numbers 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 21 are all multiples of 3. Both in the case of 5 and 3, the sequence could be continued to infinity, and all the results will be equally multiples of these numbers. This sequence is for example only.

Get multiples of 2

In the same way, we present to you how the natural numbers that are multiples of 2 are obtained

Example of multiples of 2

• 2 x 2 = 4
• 2 x 3 = 6
• 2 x 4 = 8
• 2 x 5 = 10
• 2 x 6 = 12
• 2 x 7 = 14

All the results of this operation are multiples of the number 2.

As we have just observed, it is very easy to obtain the multiples of a natural number, we only have to multiply it by another natural number and we will obtain its multiples. these can be infinite. In the same way, as we usually do from UNPROFESOR, we encourage you to follow the lessons of the related topics with multiples and if you have any questions you can always go to our lessons posted on the portal Web.

The multiples numbers of a natural number, are the numbers that result from multiplying that number by other natural numbers; the unit resulting from that multiplication would be multiples of that original number.

For example: If we multiply 5 x 3 = 15; then, the resultant, which is 15, is a multiple of 5 and 3 equally; since 15 contains both numbers within it.

The natural numbersthey are the ones we use in everyday life to count or order and belong to the set of positive integers. To simplify it, the natural numbers are the numbers that we commonly know, with a positive sign and without decimals, are units that do not have a fraction.

The set of natural numbers is composed of: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 ...

However, there are authors who affirm that 0 is a natural number; and others do not include it in the list of natural numbers. For the topic we are dealing with now, it is not a relevant definition.

Natural numbers do not have a decimal, an imaginary unit, or they are not fractions. Likewise, natural numbers are unlimited, if we add 1 to a natural number, we obtain another natural number.
