Q: How do you find the multiples of 85?

To find out the multiples of 85, we need to multiply 85 by any natural number. Natural numbers include 1, 2, 3,...etc. The results will be multiples of 85. Multiples of 85 will be larger or equal to 85. 85 × 1 = 85 85 × 2 = 170 85 × 3 = 255 85 × 4 = 340 85 × 5 = 425

Q: What is the LCM of 5 and 85?

LCM of 5 and 85 is 85. LCM refers to the Least Common Multiple of two or more numbers. While we find out the LCM of 5 and 85 using the listing method, we need to list the multiples of both 5 and 85. Multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100,... Multiples of 85 are 85, 170, 255, 340, 425, 510, 595, 680, 765, 850,... Here, the smallest common number that appears in both lists is 85. LCM of 5 and 85 = 85.

Q: What are the real-life applications of Multiples of 85?

Multiples of 85 can be helpful in various real-life situations. We can use it for calculating the price of items, evaluating the value of multiple items, and organizing a number into groups.

Q: Are multiples of 85 finite or infinite?

All the multiples of 85 are infinite. In multiplication, every number has infinite multiples, including a multiple of itself. There are both positive and negative multiples of 85. When we calculate 85 × n, if the integer ‘n’ goes on forever, the multiples of 85 also become infinite.

Q: Is there any odd multiples of 85?

Yes, there are odd multiples of 85. Because 85 is an odd number, when multiplied by odd numbers, the product will be odd. For example, 85 × 1 = 85 85 × 3 = 255 85 × 5 = 425

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 85.

What are the Multiples of 85?

Now, let us learn more about multiples of 85. Multiples of 85 are the numbers you get when you multiply 85 by any whole number, including zero. Each number has an infinite number of multiples, including a multiple of itself.

In multiplication, a multiple of 85 can be denoted as 85 × 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 85 × 1 will give us 85 as the product. Multiples of 85 will be larger or equal to 85.

Operations with Multiples of 85

Understanding the multiples of 85 helps solve mathematical problems and boost our multiplication and division skills. When working with multiples of 85, we need to apply it to different mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Sum of first 5 Multiples of 85:

85, 170, 255, 340, and 425 are the first five multiples of 85. When multiplying 85 from 1 to 5, we get these numbers as the products.

So, the sum of these multiples is:

85 + 170 + 255 + 340 + 425 = 1275

When we add the first 5 multiples of 85, the answer will be 1275.

Subtraction of first 5 Multiples of 85:

While we do subtraction, it improves our comprehension of how the value decreases when each multiple is subtracted from the previous one. 85, 170, 255, 340, and 425 are the first five multiples of 85. So, let us calculate it as given below:

85 - 170 = -85
-85 - 255 = -340
-340 - 340 = -680
-680 - 425 = -1105

Hence, the result of subtracting the first 5 multiples of 85 is -1105.

Average of first 5 Multiples of 85:

To calculate the average, we need to identify the sum of the first 5 multiples of 85 and then divide it by the count, i.e., 5. Averaging helps us to understand the concepts of central tendencies and other values. We know the sum of the first 5 multiples of 85 is 1275.

85 + 170 + 255 + 340 + 425 = 1275

Next, divide the sum by 5:

1275 ÷ 5 = 255

255 is the average of the first 5 multiples of 85.

Product of First 5 Multiples of 85:

The product of given numbers is the result of multiplying all of them together. Here, the first 5 multiples of 85 include: 85, 170, 255, 340, and 425. Now, the product of these numbers is:

85 × 170 × 255 × 340 × 425 = 408,408,750,000

The product of the first 5 multiples of 85 is 408,408,750,000.

Division of First 5 Multiples of 85:

While we perform division, we get to know how many times 85 can fit into each of the given multiples. 85, 170, 255, 340, and 425 are the first 5 multiples of 85.

85 ÷ 85 = 1
170 ÷ 85 = 2
255 ÷ 85 = 3
340 ÷ 85 = 4
425 ÷ 85 = 5

The results of dividing the first 5 multiples of 85 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
