What are the Multiples of 159?

Now, let us learn more about multiples of 159. Multiples of 159 are the numbers you get when you multiply 159 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 159 can be denoted as 159 × 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 159 × 1 will give us 159 as the product. Multiples of 159 will be larger or equal to 159.

Operations with Multiples of 159

Understanding the multiples of 159 helps solve mathematical problems and boost our multiplication and division skills. When working with multiples of 159, we need to apply it to different mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

 

Sum of first 5 Multiples of 159:

 

159, 318, 477, 636, and 795 are the first five multiples of 159. When multiplying 159 from 1 to 5, we get these numbers as the products.

 
So, the sum of these multiples is:


159 + 318 + 477 + 636 + 795 = 2385  


When we add the first 5 multiples of 159, the answer will be 2385.

 

Subtraction of first 5 Multiples of 159:

 

While we do subtraction, it improves our comprehension of how the value decreases when each multiple is subtracted from the previous one. 159, 318, 477, 636, and 795 are the first five multiples of 159. So, let us calculate it as given below:


159 - 318 = -159  
-159 - 477 = -636  
-636 - 636 = -1272  
-1272 - 795 = -2067  


Hence, the result of subtracting the first 5 multiples of 159 is -2067.

 

Average of first 5 Multiples of 159:

 

To calculate the average, we need to identify the sum of the first 5 multiples of 159, 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 159 is 2385.


159 + 318 + 477 + 636 + 795 = 2385  


Next, divide the sum by 5:


2385 ÷ 5 = 477  


477 is the average of the first 5 multiples of 159.

 

Product of First 5 Multiples of 159:

 

The product of given numbers is the result of multiplying all of them together. Here, the first 5 multiples of 159 include: 159, 318, 477, 636, and 795. Now, the product of these numbers is:


159 × 318 × 477 × 636 × 795 = 30,733,294,680  


The product of the first 5 multiples of 159 is 30,733,294,680.

 

Division of First 5 Multiples of 159:

 

While we perform division, we get to know how many times 159 can fit into each of the given multiples. 159, 318, 477, 636, and 795 are the first 5 multiples of 159.


159 ÷ 159 = 1  
318 ÷ 159 = 2  
477 ÷ 159 = 3  
636 ÷ 159 = 4  
795 ÷ 159 = 5  


The results of dividing the first 5 multiples of 159 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Sometimes, students get confused between the multiples and factors of 159. 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 159 refer to the products we get while multiplying 159 with other numbers. For example, multiples of 159 include 0, 159, 318, 477, 636, 795, 954, 1113, 1272, 1431, 1590,….

 

The factors of 159 are 1, 3, 53, and 159. When 159 is divided by 1, 3, 53, and 159, the remainder will be zero. These are the factors of 159 meaning that these numbers can divide 159 without any remainder.

 

Factors of 159:


159 ÷ 1 = 159  
159 ÷ 3 = 53  
159 ÷ 53 = 3  
159 ÷ 159 = 1

Multiples of 159 Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

Amelia is organizing a charity event where she plans to distribute packs of notebooks. Each pack contains 159 notebooks. If she distributes 159 packs every month for 3 months, how many notebooks will she distribute in total?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

47,700 notebooks  

Explanation

Each month, Amelia distributes 159 packs. To find the total number of notebooks distributed after 3 months, multiply the number of packs by the number of notebooks in each pack and then by the number of months.

 

- Number of packs per month = 159


- Number of months = 3

 

[ 159 times 3 = 477 ] (total packs over 3 months)

 
[ 477 times 159 = 75,843 ] (total notebooks)

 

Therefore, Amelia distributes 75,843 notebooks in total.

Problem 2

In a gaming competition, each player earns points in multiples of 159. The first three players earned points equivalent to the first three multiples of 159. How many points did each player earn?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The first three multiples of 159 are 159, 318, and 477. The first player earned 159 points, the second player earned 318 points, and the third player earned 477 points.

 

Explanation

Explanation: The multiples of 159 are calculated as follows:

 

[ 159 times 1 = 159 ]  


[ 159 times 2 = 318 ]  


[ 159 times 3 = 477 ]

Therefore, the first player earned 159 points, the second player earned 318 points, and the third player earned 477 points.

Problem 3

A factory produces 159 widgets in each batch. If they run 5 batches in a day, how many widgets are produced in one day?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

795 widgets  

Explanation

To find the total number of widgets produced in a day, multiply the number of batches by the number of widgets per batch.

 

- Number of batches per day = 5


- Widgets per batch = 159

 

[ 5 times 159 = 795 ]

 

Therefore, the factory produces 795 widgets in one day.

Problem 4

A library organizes its books in sets that contain 159 books each. There are 7 such sets in the library. How many books are there in total?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

1,113 books  

Explanation

To find the total number of books, multiply the number of sets by the number of books per set.

 

- Number of sets = 7


- Books per set = 159

 

[ 7 times 159 = 1,113 ]

 

Therefore, there are 1,113 books in total in the library.

Problem 5

A company has a marketing campaign where they send out brochures in batches of 159. The first shipment contains 159 brochures, the second contains 318 brochures, and the third shipment contains 477 brochures. How many brochures are sent out in total?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

954 brochures  
 

Explanation

The first shipment contains 159 brochures, the second contains 318, and the third contains 477. To find the total, sum the brochures from each shipment:

 

[ 159 + 318 + 477 = 954 ]

 

Therefore, a total of 954 brochures are sent out.
