Multiples of 501
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 501, you could just multiply 501 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 501, start at 501 and keep adding 501 over and over: 501, 1002, 1503, 2004, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 501.
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 501?
Let’s find the first 10 multiples of 501 by multiplying:
501
∗
1
=
501
501 * 1 = 501
501 ∗ 1 = 501
501
∗
2
=
1002
501 * 2 = 1002
501 ∗ 2 = 1002
501
∗
3
=
1503
501 * 3 = 1503
501 ∗ 3 = 1503
501
∗
4
=
2004
501 * 4 = 2004
501 ∗ 4 = 2004
501
∗
5
=
2505
501 * 5 = 2505
501 ∗ 5 = 2505
501
∗
6
=
3006
501 * 6 = 3006
501 ∗ 6 = 3006
501
∗
7
=
3507
501 * 7 = 3507
501 ∗ 7 = 3507
501
∗
8
=
4008
501 * 8 = 4008
501 ∗ 8 = 4008
501
∗
9
=
4509
501 * 9 = 4509
501 ∗ 9 = 4509
501
∗
10
=
5010
501 * 10 = 5010
501 ∗ 10 = 5010
So, the first 10 multiples of 501 are: 501, 1002, 1503, 2004, 2004, 3006, 3507, 4008, 4509 and 5010.
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.
