Advance Topics

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 87.

What are the Multiples of 87?

Now, let us learn more about multiples of 87. Multiples of 87 are the numbers you get when you multiply 87 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 87 can be denoted as 87 × 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 87 × 1 will give us 87 as the product. Multiples of 87 will be larger or equal to 87.

Operations with Multiples of 87

Understanding the multiples of 87 helps solve mathematical problems and boost our multiplication and division skills. When working with multiples of 87, we need to apply it to different mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. 

 

Sum of first 5 Multiples of 87:  


87, 174, 261, 348, and 435 are the first five multiples of 87. When multiplying 87 from 1 to 5 we get these numbers as the products.  


So, the sum of these multiples is:  


87 + 174 + 261 + 348 + 435 = 1305  


When we add the first 5 multiples of 87 the answer will be 1305.

 

Subtraction of first 5 Multiples of 87:  


While we do subtraction, it improves our comprehension of how the value decreases when each multiple is subtracted from the previous one. 87, 174, 261, 348, and 435 are the first five multiples of 87. So, let us calculate it as given below:  


87 - 174 = -87  
-87 - 261 = -348  
-348 - 348 = -696  
-696 - 435 = -1131  


Hence, the result of subtracting the first 5 multiples of 87 is -1131.

 

Average of first 5 Multiples of 87:  


To calculate the average, we need to identify the sum of the first 5 multiples of 87, 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 87 is 1305.  


87 + 174 + 261 + 348 + 435 = 1305  


Next, divide the sum by 5:  


1305 ÷ 5 = 261  


261 is the average of the first 5 multiples of 87.

 

Product of First 5 Multiples of 87:  


The product of given numbers is the result of multiplying all of them together. Here, the first 5 multiples of 87 include: 87, 174, 261, 348, and 435. Now, the product of these numbers is:  


87 × 174 × 261 × 348 × 435 = 147,008,443,320  


The product of the first 5 multiples of 87 is 147,008,443,320.

 

Division of First 5 Multiples of 87:  


While we perform division, we get to know how many times 87 can fit into each of the given multiples. 87, 174, 261, 348, and 435 are the first 5 multiples of 87.  


87 ÷ 87 = 1  
174 ÷ 87 = 2  
261 ÷ 87 = 3  
348 ÷ 87 = 4  
435 ÷ 87 = 5  


The results of dividing the first 5 multiples of 87 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
