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 21.

What are the Multiples of 21?

Now, let us learn more about multiples of 21. Multiples of 21 are the numbers you get when you multiply 21 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 21 can be denoted as 21 × 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 21 × 1 will give us 21 as the product. Multiples of 21 will be larger or equal to 21.Multiples of 21

List of First 20 Multiples of 21

Multiples of 21 include the products of 21 and an integer. Multiples of 21 are divisible by 21 evenly. The first few multiples of 21 are given below:

 

TABLE OF 21 (1-10)

21 x 1 = 21

21 x 6 = 126

21 x 2 = 42

21 x 7 = 147

21 x 3 = 63

21 x 8 = 168

21 x 4 = 84

21 x 9 = 189

21 x 5 = 105

21 x 10 = 210

 

TABLE OF 21 (11-20)

21 x 11 = 231

21 x 16 = 336

21 x 12 = 252

21 x 17 = 357

21 x 13 = 273

21 x 18 = 378

21 x 14 = 294

21 x 19 = 399

21 x 15 = 315

21 x 20 = 420

Now, we know the first few multiples of 21. They are 0, 21, 42, 63, 84, 105, 126, 147, 168, 189, 210,...

Operations with Multiples of 21

Understanding the multiples of 21 helps solve mathematical problems and boost our multiplication and division skills. When working with multiples of 21, we need to apply it to different mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

 

Sum of first 5 Multiples of 21:

 
21, 42, 63, 84, and 105 are the first five multiples of 21. When multiplying 21 from 1 to 5 we get these numbers as the products.  
So, the sum of these multiples is:  


21 + 42 + 63 + 84 + 105 = 315  


When we add the first 5 multiples of 21 the answer will be 315.

 

Subtraction of first 5 Multiples of 21:

 
While we do subtraction, it improves our comprehension of how the value decreases when each multiple is subtracted from the previous one. 21, 42, 63, 84, and 105 are the first five multiples of 21. So, let us calculate it as given below:

 
21 - 42 = -21  
-21 - 63 = -84  
-84 - 84 = -168  
-168 - 105 = -273  


Hence, the result of subtracting the first 5 multiples of 21 is -273.

 

Average of first 5 Multiples of 21:  


To calculate the average, we need to identify the sum of the first 5 multiples of 21, 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 21 is 315.  


21 + 42 + 63 + 84 + 105 = 315

 
Next, divide the sum by 5:  


315 ÷ 5 = 63  


63 is the average of the first 5 multiples of 21.

 

Product of First 5 Multiples of 21:  


The product of given numbers is the result of multiplying all of them together. Here, the first 5 multiples of 21 include: 21, 42, 63, 84, and 105. Now, the product of these numbers is:  


21 × 42 × 63 × 84 × 105 = 234,256,320  


The product of the first 5 multiples of 21 is 234,256,320.

 

Division of First 5 Multiples of 21:  


While we perform division, we get to know how many times 21 can fit into each of the given multiples. 21, 42, 63, 84, and 105 are the first 5 multiples of 21.

 
21 ÷ 21 = 1  
42 ÷ 21 = 2  
63 ÷ 21 = 3  
84 ÷ 21 = 4  
105 ÷ 21 = 5  


The results of dividing the first 5 multiples of 21 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
