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 12.
Now, let us learn more about multiples of 12. Multiples of 12 are the numbers you get when you multiply 12 by any whole number, including zero. Each number has an infinite number of multiples, including a multiple of itself. A multiple of 12 can be denoted as 12 × 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 12 × 1 will give us 12 as the product. Multiples of 12 will be larger or equal to 12.
Multiples of 12 include the products of 12 and an integer. Multiples of 12 are divisible by 12 evenly. The first few multiples of 12 are given below:
TABLE OF 12 (1-10) | |
---|---|
12 x 1 = 12 |
12 x 6 = 72 |
12 x 2 = 24 |
12 x 7 = 84 |
12 x 3 = 36 |
12 x 8 = 96 |
12 x 4 = 48 |
12 x 9 = 108 |
12 x 5 = 60 |
12 x 10 = 120 |
TABLE OF 12 (11-20) | |
---|---|
12 x 11 = 132 |
12 x 16 = 192 |
12 x 12 = 144 |
12 x 17 = 204 |
12 x 13 = 156 |
12 x 18 = 216 |
12 x 14 = 168 |
12 x 19 = 228 |
12 x 15 = 180 |
12 x 20 = 240 |
Now, we know the first few multiples of 12. They are 0, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120,...
Understanding the multiples of 12 helps solve mathematical problems and boost our multiplication and division skills. When working with multiples of 12, we apply them to different mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 are the first five multiples of 12. When multiplying 12 from 1 to 5 we get these numbers as the products.
So, the sum of these multiples is:
12 + 24 + 36 + 48 + 60 = 180
When we add the first 5 multiples of 12, the answer will be 180.
While we do subtraction, it improves our comprehension of how the value decreases when each multiple is subtracted from the previous one. 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 are the first five multiples of 12. So, let us calculate it as given below:
12 - 24 = -12
-12 - 36 = -48
-48 - 48 = -96
-96 - 60 = -156
Hence, the result of subtracting the first 5 multiples of 12 is -156.
To calculate the average, we need to identify the sum of the first 5 multiples of 12, 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 12 is 180.
12 + 24 + 36 + 48 + 60 = 180
Next, divide the sum by 5:
180 ÷ 5 = 36
36 is the average of the first 5 multiples of 12.
The product of given numbers is the result of multiplying all of them together. Here, the first 5 multiples of 12 include 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60. Now, the product of these numbers is:
12 × 24 × 36 × 48 × 60 = 29,937,792
The product of the first 5 multiples of 12 is 29,937,792.
While we perform division, we get to know how many times 12 can fit into each of the given multiples. 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 are the first 5 multiples of 12.
12 ÷ 12 = 1
24 ÷ 12 = 2
36 ÷ 12 = 3
48 ÷ 12 = 4
60 ÷ 12 = 5
The results of dividing the first 5 multiples of 12 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
