Multiples of 1600
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 1600, you could start at 1600, and keep adding 1600 over and over: 1600, 3200, 4800, 6400, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 1600. 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 1600, you could just multiply 1600 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 1600?
So, what are the multiples of 1600? Let’s write it out using the multiplication method:
1600
×
1
=
1600
1600 × 1 = 1600
1600 × 1 = 1600
1600
×
2
=
3200
1600 × 2 = 3200
1600 × 2 = 3200
1600
×
3
=
4800
1600 × 3 = 4800
1600 × 3 = 4800
1600
×
4
=
6400
1600 × 4 = 6400
1600 × 4 = 6400
1600
×
5
=
8000
1600 × 5 = 8000
1600 × 5 = 8000
1600
×
6
=
9600
1600 × 6 = 9600
1600 × 6 = 9600
1600
×
7
=
11200
1600 × 7 = 11200
1600 × 7 = 11200
1600
×
8
=
12800
1600 × 8 = 12800
1600 × 8 = 12800
1600
×
9
=
14400
1600 × 9 = 14400
1600 × 9 = 14400
1600
×
10
=
16000
1600 × 10 = 16000
1600 × 10 = 16000
So, the first 10 multiples of 1600 are: 1600, 3200, 4800, 6400, 8000, 9600, 11200, 12800, 14400 and 16000.
There are an endless number of multiples of 1600. You could choose any number to multiply by 1600 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.
