Multiples of 100
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 100, you could just multiply 100 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 100, start at 100 and keep adding 100 over and over: 100, 200, 300, 400, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 100.
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 100?
Let’s find the first 10 multiples of 100 by multiplying:
100
∗
1
=
100
100 * 1 = 100
100 ∗ 1 = 100
100
∗
2
=
200
100 * 2 = 200
100 ∗ 2 = 200
100
∗
3
=
300
100 * 3 = 300
100 ∗ 3 = 300
100
∗
4
=
400
100 * 4 = 400
100 ∗ 4 = 400
100
∗
5
=
500
100 * 5 = 500
100 ∗ 5 = 500
100
∗
6
=
600
100 * 6 = 600
100 ∗ 6 = 600
100
∗
7
=
700
100 * 7 = 700
100 ∗ 7 = 700
100
∗
8
=
800
100 * 8 = 800
100 ∗ 8 = 800
100
∗
9
=
900
100 * 9 = 900
100 ∗ 9 = 900
100
∗
10
=
1000
100 * 10 = 1000
100 ∗ 10 = 1000
So, the first 10 multiples of 100 are: 100, 200, 300, 400, 400, 600, 700, 800, 900 and 1000.
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.
