Multiples of 50
In math, multiples are the products we get while multiplying a number with other numbers. Multiples play a key role in construction and design, counting groups of items, sharing resources equally, and managing time effectively. In this topic, we will learn the essential concepts of multiples of 50.
What are the Multiples of 50?
Now, let us learn more about multiples of 50. Multiples of 50 are the numbers you get when you multiply 50 by any whole number, including zero. Each number has an infinite number of multiples, including a multiple of itself.
In multiplication, a multiple of 50 can be denoted as 50 × n, where ‘n’ represents any whole number (0, 1, 2, 3,…). So, we can summarize that:
Multiple of a number = Number × Any whole number
For example, multiplying 50 × 1 will give us 50 as the product.
Multiples of 50 will be larger or equal to 50.

Operations with Multiples of 50
Understanding the multiples of 50 helps solve mathematical problems and boost our multiplication and division skills. When working with multiples of 50, we apply it to different mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Sum of First 5 Multiples of 50:
50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 are the first five multiples of 50. When multiplying 50 from 1 to 5, we get these numbers as the products.
So, the sum of these multiples is:
50 + 100 + 150 + 200 + 250 = 750
When we add the first 5 multiples of 50, the answer will be 750.
Subtraction of First 5 Multiples of 50:
While doing subtraction, it improves our comprehension of how the value decreases when each multiple is subtracted from the previous one. 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 are the first five multiples of 50. So, let us calculate it as given below:
50 - 100 = -50
-50 - 150 = -200
-200 - 200 = -400
-400 - 250 = -650
Hence, the result of subtracting the first 5 multiples of 50 is -650.
Average of First 5 Multiples of 50:
To calculate the average, we need to identify the sum of the first 5 multiples of 50, and then divide it by the count, i.e., 5. Because there are 5 multiples presented in the calculation. Averaging helps us understand the concepts of central tendencies and other values. We know the sum of the first 5 multiples of 50 is 750.
Next, divide the sum by 5:
750 ÷ 5 = 150
150 is the average of the first 5 multiples of 50.
Product of First 5 Multiples of 50:
The product of given numbers is the result of multiplying all of them together. Here, the first 5 multiples of 50 include: 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250. Now, the product of these numbers is:
50 × 100 × 150 × 200 × 250 = 37,500,000,000
The product of the first 5 multiples of 50 is 37,500,000,000.
Division of First 5 Multiples of 50:
While we perform division, we get to know how many times 50 can fit into each of the given multiples. 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 are the first 5 multiples of 50.
50 ÷ 50 = 1
100 ÷ 50 = 2
150 ÷ 50 = 3
200 ÷ 50 = 4
250 ÷ 50 = 5
The results of dividing the first 5 multiples of 50 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Multiples of 50
While working with multiples of 50, we make common mistakes. Identifying these errors and understanding how to avoid them can be helpful. Below are some frequent mistakes and tips to avoid them:
Mistake 1
Confusing Multiples with Factors
Sometimes, students get confused between the multiples and factors of 50. A simple trick to differentiate between the two is to remember that multiples are the products of multiplication, while factors are the divisors of the number.
Multiples of 50 refer to the products we get while multiplying 50 with other numbers. For example, multiples of 50 include 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500….
The factors of 50 are 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50. When 50 is divided by these numbers, the remainder will be zero. These are the factors of 50, meaning that these numbers can divide 50 without any remainder.
Factors of 50:
50 ÷ 1 = 50
50 ÷ 2 = 25
50 ÷ 5 = 10
50 ÷ 10 = 5
50 ÷ 25 = 2
50 ÷ 50 = 1
Multiples of 50 Examples
Problem 1
A transportation company runs shuttle services that can accommodate up to 50 passengers per trip. If the company operates 8 trips in a day, how many passengers can they transport in total?
400 passengers
Explanation
Each shuttle trip carries 50 passengers. To find the total number of passengers transported in 8 trips, multiply the number of passengers per trip by the number of trips.
Passengers per trip = 50
Number of trips = 8
50 × 8 = 400
Therefore, the company can transport 400 passengers in a day.
Problem 2
A bakery sells boxes of cupcakes, with each box containing 50 cupcakes. If a customer orders 6 boxes, how many cupcakes does the customer receive?
300 cupcakes
Explanation
Each box contains 50 cupcakes. To determine the total number of cupcakes in 6 boxes, multiply the number of cupcakes per box by the number of boxes.
Cupcakes per box = 50
Number of boxes = 6
50 × 6 = 300
Thus, the customer receives 300 cupcakes in total.
Problem 3
A bookstore arranges 50 books on each shelf. If there are 12 shelves in the store, how many books are arranged in total?
600 books
Explanation
Each shelf holds 50 books. To find the total number of books in the store, multiply the number of books per shelf by the number of shelves.
Books per shelf = 50
Number of shelves = 12
50 × 12 = 600
Therefore, the bookstore has 600 books arranged on the shelves.
Problem 4
A printing press prints 50 posters per hour. If the press operates for 9 hours, how many posters will be printed in total?
450 posters
Explanation
The printing press produces 50 posters every hour. To find the total number of posters printed in 9 hours, multiply the hourly production by the number of hours.
Posters printed per hour = 50
Number of hours = 9
50 × 9 = 450
Hence, the printing press will print 450 posters in 9 hours.
Problem 5
A farmer packs oranges into crates, with each crate holding 50 oranges. If the farmer packs 7 crates, how many oranges does he pack in total?
350 oranges
Explanation
Each crate holds 50 oranges. To find the total number of oranges packed, multiply the number of oranges per crate by the number of crates.
Oranges per crate = 50
Number of crates = 7
50 × 7 = 350
Thus, the farmer packs a total of 350 oranges.
