A:
Multiples of 1982 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 1982, you could start at 1982, and keep adding 1982 over and over: 1982, 3964, 5946, 7928, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 1982. 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 1982, you could just multiply 1982 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 1982? So, what are the multiples of 1982? Let’s write it out using the multiplication method: 1982 × 1 = 1982 1982 × 1 = 1982 1982 × 1 = 1982 1982 × 2 = 3964 1982 × 2 = 3964 1982 × 2 = 3964 1982 × 3 = 5946 1982 × 3 = 5946 1982 × 3 = 5946 1982 × 4 = 7928 1982 × 4 = 7928 1982 × 4 = 7928 1982 × 5 = 9910 1982 × 5 = 9910 1982 × 5 = 9910 1982 × 6 = 11892 1982 × 6 = 11892 1982 × 6 = 11892 1982 × 7 = 13874 1982 × 7 = 13874 1982 × 7 = 13874 1982 × 8 = 15856 1982 × 8 = 15856 1982 × 8 = 15856 1982 × 9 = 17838 1982 × 9 = 17838 1982 × 9 = 17838 1982 × 10 = 19820 1982 × 10 = 19820 1982 × 10 = 19820 So, the first 10 multiples of 1982 are: 1982, 3964, 5946, 7928, 9910, 11892, 13874, 15856, 17838 and 19820. There are an endless number of multiples of 1982. You could choose any number to multiply by 1982 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.
