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 1200.
Now, let us learn more about multiples of 1200. Multiples of 1200 are the numbers you get when you multiply 1200 by any whole number, including zero. Each number has an infinite number of multiples, including a multiple of itself. In multiplication, a multiple of 1200 can be denoted as 1200 × 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 1200 × 1 will give us 1200 as the product. Multiples of 1200 will be larger or equal to 1200.
Multiples of 1200 include the products of 1200 and an integer. Multiples of 1200 are divisible by 1200 evenly. The first few multiples of 1200 are given below:
TABLE OF 1200 (1-10) | |
---|---|
1200 x 1 = 1200 |
1200 x 6 = 7200 |
1200 x 2 = 2400 |
1200 x 7 = 8400 |
1200 x 3 = 3600 |
1200 x 8 = 9600 |
1200 x 4 = 4800 |
1200 x 9 = 10800 |
1200 x 5 = 6000 |
1200 x 10 = 12000 |
TABLE OF 1200 (11-20) | |
---|---|
1200 x 11 = 13200 |
1200 x 16 = 19200 |
1200 x 12 = 14400 |
1200 x 17 = 20400 |
1200 x 13 = 15600 |
1200 x 18 = 21600 |
1200 x 14 = 16800 |
1200 x 19 = 22800 |
1200 x 15 = 18000 |
1200 x 20 = 24000 |
Now, we know the first few multiples of 1200. They are 0, 1200, 2400, 3600, 4800, 6000, 7200, 8400, 9600, 10800, 12000,...
Understanding the multiples of 1200 helps solve mathematical problems and boost our multiplication and division skills. When working with multiples of 1200, we need to apply it to different mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
1200, 2400, 3600, 4800, and 6000 are the first five multiples of 1200. When multiplying 1200 from 1 to 5, we get these numbers as the products.
So, the sum of these multiples is:
1200 + 2400 + 3600 + 4800 + 6000 = 18000
When we add the first 5 multiples of 1200, the answer will be 18000.
While we do subtraction, it improves our comprehension of how the value decreases when each multiple is subtracted from the previous one. 1200, 2400, 3600, 4800, and 6000 are the first five multiples of 1200. So, let us calculate it as given below:
1200 - 2400 = -1200
-1200 - 3600 = -4800
-4800 - 4800 = -9600
-9600 - 6000 = -15600
Hence, the result of subtracting the first 5 multiples of 1200 is -15600.
To calculate the average, we need to identify the sum of the first 5 multiples of 1200, and then divide it by the count, i.e., 5. Because there are 5 multiples presented in the calculation. Averaging helps us to understand the concepts of central tendencies and other values. We know the sum of the first 5 multiples of 1200 is 18000.
1200 + 2400 + 3600 + 4800 + 6000 = 18000
Next, divide the sum by 5:
18000 ÷ 5 = 3600
3600 is the average of the first 5 multiples of 1200.
The product of given numbers is the result of multiplying all of them together. Here, the first 5 multiples of 1200 include: 1200, 2400, 3600, 4800, and 6000. Now, the product of these numbers is:
1200 × 2400 × 3600 × 4800 × 6000 = 2.48832 × 10^20
The product of the first 5 multiples of 1200 is a large number.
While we perform division, we get to know how many times 1200 can fit into each of the given multiples. 1200, 2400, 3600, 4800, and 6000 are the first 5 multiples of 1200.
1200 ÷ 1200 = 1
2400 ÷ 1200 = 2
3600 ÷ 1200 = 3
4800 ÷ 1200 = 4
6000 ÷ 1200 = 5
The results of dividing the first 5 multiples of 1200 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
While working with multiples of 1200, 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:
A construction company is working on building new apartments. Each building requires 1200 bricks to complete one floor. If they plan to construct 5 floors for each building, how many bricks will they need in total for one building?
6000 bricks
To find the total number of bricks needed for one building, multiply the number of bricks per floor by the number of floors.
Bricks per floor = 1200
Number of floors = 5
1200 × 5 = 6000
They will need a total of 6000 bricks for one building.
In a library, a new shipment of books arrives every month, and each shipment contains 1200 books. Over the course of a year (12 months), how many books will the library receive in total?
14400 books
To find the total number of books received in a year, multiply the number of books in each shipment by the number of months.
Books per shipment = 1200
Number of months = 12
1200 × 12 = 14400
The library will receive a total of 14400 books in a year.
A company produces 1200 units of a product every day. If they operate for 7 days a week, how many units will they produce in a week?
8400 units
To find the total number of units produced in a week, multiply the daily production by the number of days in a week.
Units per day = 1200
Number of days in a week = 7
1200 × 7 = 8400
The company will produce 8400 units in a week.
A stadium has a seating capacity of 1200 seats. During a tournament, 8 matches are scheduled, and each match is expected to fill the stadium to capacity. How many people will have attended the tournament by the end?
9600 people
To find the total number of attendees, multiply the seating capacity by the number of matches.
Seating capacity = 1200
Number of matches = 8
1200 × 8 = 9600
A total of 9600 people will have attended the tournament.
An IT firm sets a data transfer target of 1200 GB per project. If they complete 4 projects in a quarter, how much data will they have transferred in total by the end of the quarter?
4800 GB
To find the total data transferred, multiply the data per project by the number of projects.
Data per project = 1200 GB
Number of projects = 4
1200 × 4 = 4800
The firm will have transferred a total of 4800 GB by the end of the quarter.
