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 48.
Now, let us learn more about multiples of 48. Multiples of 48 are the numbers you get when you multiply 48 by any whole number, along with zero. Each number has an infinite number of multiples, including a multiple of itself.
In multiplication, a multiple of 48 can be denoted as 48 × 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 48 × 1 will give us 48 as the product. Multiples of 48 will be larger or equal to 48.
Multiples of 48 include the products of 48 and an integer. Multiples of 48 are divisible by 48 evenly. The first few multiples of 48 are given below:
TABLE OF 48 (1-10) | |
---|---|
48 x 1 = 48 |
48 x 6 = 288 |
48 x 2 = 96 |
48 x 7 = 336 |
48 x 3 = 144 |
48 x 8 = 384 |
48 x 4 = 192 |
48 x 9 = 432 |
48 x 5 = 240 |
48 x 10 = 480 |
TABLE OF 48 (11-20) | |
---|---|
48 x 11 = 528 |
48 x 16 = 768 |
48 x 12 = 576 |
48 x 17 = 816 |
48 x 13 = 624 |
48 x 18 = 864 |
48 x 14 = 672 |
48 x 19 = 912 |
48 x 15 = 720 |
48 x 20 = 960 |
Now, we know the first few multiples of 48. They are 0, 48, 96, 144, 192, 240, 288, 336, 384, 432, 480,...
Understanding the multiples of 48 helps solve mathematical problems and boost our multiplication and division skills. When working with Multiples of 48, we need to apply it to different mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
48, 96, 144, 192, and 240 are the first five multiples of 48. When multiplying 48 from 1 to 5, we get these numbers as the products.
So, the sum of these multiples is:
48 + 96 + 144 + 192 + 240 = 720
When we add the first 5 multiples of 48, the answer will be 720.
While we do subtraction, it improves our comprehension of how the value decreases when each multiple is subtracted from the previous one. 48, 96, 144, 192, and 240 are the first five multiples of 48. So, let us calculate it as given below:
48 - 96 = -48
-48 - 144 = -192
-192 - 192 = -384
-384 - 240 = -624
Hence, the result of subtracting the first 5 multiples of 48 is -624.
To calculate the average, we need to identify the sum of the first 5 multiples of 48 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 48 is 720.
48 + 96 + 144 + 192 + 240 = 720
Next, divide the sum by 5:
720 ÷ 5 = 144
144 is the average of the first 5 multiples of 48.
The product of given numbers is the result of multiplying all of them together. Here, the first 5 multiples of 48 include: 48, 96, 144, 192, and 240. Now, the product of these numbers is:
48 × 96 × 144 × 192 × 240 = 3,407,872,000
The product of the first 5 multiples of 48 is 3,407,872,000.
While we perform division, we get to know how many times 48 can fit into each of the given multiples. 48, 96, 144, 192, and 240 are the first 5 multiples of 48.
48 ÷ 48 = 1
96 ÷ 48 = 2
144 ÷ 48 = 3
192 ÷ 48 = 4
240 ÷ 48 = 5
The results of dividing the first 5 multiples of 48 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
