Multiples of 160
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 160, you could start at 160, and keep adding 160 over and over: 160, 320, 480, 640, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 160. 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 160, you could just multiply 160 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 160?
So, what are the multiples of 160? Let’s write it out using the multiplication method:
160
×
1
=
160
160 × 1 = 160
160 × 1 = 160
160
×
2
=
320
160 × 2 = 320
160 × 2 = 320
160
×
3
=
480
160 × 3 = 480
160 × 3 = 480
160
×
4
=
640
160 × 4 = 640
160 × 4 = 640
160
×
5
=
800
160 × 5 = 800
160 × 5 = 800
160
×
6
=
960
160 × 6 = 960
160 × 6 = 960
160
×
7
=
1120
160 × 7 = 1120
160 × 7 = 1120
160
×
8
=
1280
160 × 8 = 1280
160 × 8 = 1280
160
×
9
=
1440
160 × 9 = 1440
160 × 9 = 1440
160
×
10
=
1600
160 × 10 = 1600
160 × 10 = 1600
So, the first 10 multiples of 160 are: 160, 320, 480, 640, 800, 960, 1120, 1280, 1440 and 1600.
There are an endless number of multiples of 160. You could choose any number to multiply by 160 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.
