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 480.

What are the Multiples of 480?

Now, let us learn more about multiples of 480. Multiples of 480 are the numbers you get when you multiply 480 by any whole number, including zero. Each number has an infinite number of multiples, including a multiple of itself.

 

In multiplication, a multiple of 480 can be denoted as 480 × 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 480 × 1 will give us 480 as the product. Multiples of 480 will be larger or equal to 480.

List of First 20 Multiples of 480

Multiples of 480 include the products of 480 and an integer. Multiples of 480 are divisible by 480 evenly. The first few multiples of 480 are given below: 

 

TABLE OF 480 (1-10)

480 x 1 = 480

480 x 6 = 2880

480 x 2 = 960

480 x 7 = 3360

480 x 3 = 1440

480 x 8 = 3840

480 x 4 = 1920

480 x 9 = 4320

480 x 5 = 2400

480 x 10 = 4800

 

 

TABLE OF 480 (11-20)

480 x 11 = 5280

480 x 16 = 7680

480 x 12 = 5760

480 x 17 = 8160

480 x 13 = 6240

480 x 18 = 8640

480 x 14 = 6720

480 x 19 = 9120

480 x 15 = 7200

480 x 20 = 9600

 

Now, we know the first few multiples of 480. They are 0, 480, 960, 1,440, 1,920, 2,400, 2,880, 3,360, 3,840, 4,320, 4,800,...

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in Multiples of 480

Understanding the multiples of 480 helps solve mathematical problems and boost our multiplication and division skills. When working with multiples of 480, we need to apply them to different mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

 

Sum of first 5 Multiples of 480:  


480, 960, 1,440, 1,920, and 2,400 are the first five multiples of 480. When multiplying 480 from 1 to 5, we get these numbers as the products.  


So, the sum of these multiples is:  


480 + 960 + 1,440 + 1,920 + 2,400 = 7,200  


When we add the first 5 multiples of 480, the answer will be 7,200.

 

Subtraction of first 5 Multiples of 480:  


While we do subtraction, it improves our comprehension of how the value decreases when each multiple is subtracted from the previous one. 480, 960, 1,440, 1,920, and 2,400 are the first five multiples of 480. So, let us calculate it as given below:  


480 - 960 = -480  
-480 - 1,440 = -1,920  
-1,920 - 1,920 = -3,840  
-3,840 - 2,400 = -6,240  


Hence, the result of subtracting the first 5 multiples of 480 is -6,240.

 

Average of first 5 Multiples of 480:  


To calculate the average, we need to identify the sum of the first 5 multiples of 480 and then divide it by the count, i.e., 5. Since 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 480 is 7,200.  


480 + 960 + 1,440 + 1,920 + 2,400 = 7,200  


Next, divide the sum by 5:  


7,200 ÷ 5 = 1,440  


1,440 is the average of the first 5 multiples of 480.

 

Product of First 5 Multiples of 480:  


The product of given numbers is the result of multiplying all of them together. Here, the first 5 multiples of 480 include: 480, 960, 1,440, 1,920, and 2,400. Now, the product of these numbers is:  


480 × 960 × 1,440 × 1,920 × 2,400 = 8,294,400,000,000  


The product of the first 5 multiples of 480 is 8,294,400,000,000.

 

Division of First 5 Multiples of 480:  


While we perform division, we get to know how many times 480 can fit into each of the given multiples. 480, 960, 1,440, 1,920, and 2,400 are the first 5 multiples of 480.  


480 ÷ 480 = 1  
960 ÷ 480 = 2  
1,440 ÷ 480 = 3  
1,920 ÷ 480 = 4  
2,400 ÷ 480 = 5    


The results of dividing the first 5 multiples of 480 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
