A multiple is the product we get when one number is multiplied by another. Did you know multiples can be used in various fields, such as counting stamps, lining up for a parade, etc.? In this topic, we will learn about the multiples of 6.
Now, let's explore multiples of 6. A multiple is a number that we get when we multiply one whole number by another whole number. When it comes to multiples of 6, they should be evenly divisible by 6.
Every number is a multiple of itself because when we multiply the number by 1, it results in the number itself; for example, 6 × 1 = 6. If a number is multiplied by 0, it results in 0; therefore, 0 is the multiple of every number.
Multiples of 6 are the products of 6 and a whole number. It is equally possible to divide multiples of 6 by 6. And the first 20 multiples of 6 are given below:
6 x 0 = 0
6 × 1 = 6
6 × 2 = 12
6 × 3 = 18
6 × 4 = 24
6 × 5 = 30
6 × 6 = 36
6 × 7 = 42
6 × 8 = 48
6 × 9 = 54
6 × 10 = 60
6 × 11 = 66
6 × 12 = 72
6 × 13 = 78
6 × 14 = 84
6 × 15 = 90
6 × 16 = 96
6 × 17 = 102
6 × 18 = 108
6 × 19 = 114
6 × 20 = 120
Learning and working with multiples of 6 makes it easier to solve mathematical problems. We need to apply different mathematical operations while working with multiples of 6. The important methods are given below:
The first 5 multiples of 6 are 6, 12, 18, 24, 30. These are the values we get by multiplying 6 by numbers from 1 to 5.
So, the sum of the multiples is:
6 + 12 + 18 + 24 + 30 = 90
The first 5 multiples of 6 are 6, 12, 18, 24, 30. When we do subtraction, it helps us understand how the total gets smaller when we subtract the multiple from another. So in this method, we get how the result of the previous subtraction are subtracted from the multiples of 6.
Therefore, the result of subtracting the first five multiples of 6 is 12.
The total sum of multiples divided by the total no of multiples. To find the average of the first 5 multiples of 6, add them together and divide by 5.
6 + 12 + 18 + 24 + 30 = 90
Average = Total sumTotal / number of multiples
= 90 / 5 = 18
Therefore, the average of the first five multiples of 6 is 18.
The product is the result of a number multiplied by each other. To find the product of the first five multiples of 6, we multiply all the multiples.
Step 1: Multiply the first and second multiples of 6:
6 ×12 = 72.
Step 2: Multiply the previous answer with the third multiple:
72 ×18 = 1296.
Step 3: Here, multiply the fourth multiple with the previous answer:
1296 × 24 = 31104.
Step 4: To conclude, multiply the fifth multiple with the previous answer:
31104 × 30 = 933120
Therefore, the product of the first five multiples of 6 is 933120.
Division is the process of splitting the number into equal parts. So here we divide each of the first five multiples of 6 by 6:
6 ÷ 6 = 1
12 ÷ 6 = 2
18 ÷ 6 = 3
24 ÷ 6 = 4
30 ÷ 6 = 5
Therefore, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are the result of dividing the first 5 multiples of 6.
