Multiples of 62
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 62, you could just multiply 62 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 62, start at 62 and keep adding 62 over and over: 62, 124, 186, 248, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 62.
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 62?
Let’s find the first 10 multiples of 62 by multiplying:
62
∗
1
=
62
62 * 1 = 62
62 ∗ 1 = 62
62
∗
2
=
124
62 * 2 = 124
62 ∗ 2 = 124
62
∗
3
=
186
62 * 3 = 186
62 ∗ 3 = 186
62
∗
4
=
248
62 * 4 = 248
62 ∗ 4 = 248
62

5
=
310
62 * 5 = 310
62 ∗ 5 = 310
62
∗
6
=
372
62 * 6 = 372
62 ∗ 6 = 372
62
∗
7
=
434
62 * 7 = 434
62 ∗ 7 = 434
62
∗
8
=
496
62 * 8 = 496
62 ∗ 8 = 496
62

62 * 9 = 558
62 ∗ 9 = 558
62
∗
10
=
620
62 * 10 = 620
62 ∗ 10 = 620
So, the first 10 multiples of 62 are: 62, 124, 186, 248, 248, 372, 434, 496, 558 and 620.
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.
