Multiples of 78
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 78, you could just multiply 78 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 78, start at 78 and keep adding 78 over and over: 78, 156, 234, 312, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 78.
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 78?
Let’s find the first 10 multiples of 78 by multiplying:
78
∗
1
=
78
78 * 1 = 78

=
156
78 * 2 = 156
78 ∗ 2 = 156
78
∗
3
=
234
78 * 3 = 234
78 ∗ 3 = 234
78
∗
4
=
312
78 * 4 = 312
78 ∗ 4 = 312
78
∗
5
=
390
78 * 5 = 390
78 ∗ 5 = 390
78
∗
6
=
468
78 * 6 = 468
78 ∗ 6 = 468
78
∗
7
=
546

78 * 9 = 702
78 ∗ 9 = 702
78
∗
10
=
780
78 * 10 = 780
78 ∗ 10 = 780
So, the first 10 multiples of 78 are: 78, 156, 234, 312, 312, 468, 546, 624, 702 and 780.
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.
