Lesson 5 – Multiples

Objectives:

At the end of the lesson, students should be able to list the multiples of any given number.

The multiples of a number are those numbers into which that number divides without a remainder.

Note that the numbers in any multiplication table are the multiples of that number.

Example: 1

Multiples of 3 and 5 are the numbers or products of the tables.

These include;

3 = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30……

5 = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50………

Example: 2

Solution

7 = {7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42}

9 = {9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54}
