Multiples of 317
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 317, you could just multiply 317 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 317, start at 317 and keep adding 317 over and over: 317, 634, 951, 1268, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 317.
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 317?
Let’s find the first 10 multiples of 317 by multiplying:
317
∗
1
=
317
317 * 1 = 317
317 ∗ 1 = 317
317
∗
2
=
634
317 * 2 = 634
317 ∗ 2 = 634
317
∗
3
=
951
317 * 3 = 951
317 ∗ 3 = 951
317
∗
4
=
1268
317 * 4 = 1268
317 ∗ 4 = 1268
317
∗
5
=
1585
317 * 5 = 1585
317 ∗ 5 = 1585
317
∗
6
=
1902
317 * 6 = 1902
317 ∗ 6 = 1902
317
∗
7
=
2219
317 * 7 = 2219
317 ∗ 7 = 2219
317
∗
8
=
2536
317 * 8 = 2536
317 ∗ 8 = 2536
317
∗
9
=
2853
317 * 9 = 2853
317 ∗ 9 = 2853
317
∗
10
=
3170
317 * 10 = 3170
317 ∗ 10 = 3170
So, the first 10 multiples of 317 are: 317, 634, 951, 1268, 1268, 1902, 2219, 2536, 2853 and 3170.
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.
