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 720.
Now, let us learn more about multiples of 720. Multiples of 720 are the numbers you get when you multiply 720 by any whole number, including zero. Each number has an infinite number of multiples, including a multiple of itself.
In multiplication, a multiple of 720 can be denoted as 720 × 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 720 × 1 will give us 720 as the product. Multiples of 720 will be larger or equal to 720.
Multiples of 720 include the products of 720 and an integer. Multiples of 720 are divisible by 720 evenly. The first few multiples of 720 are given below:

720 x 19 = 13680 |
720 x 15 = 10800 |
720 x 20 = 14400 |
Now, we know the first few multiples of 720. They are 0, 720, 1,440, 2,160, 2,880, 3,600, 4,320, 5,040, 5,760, 6,480, 7,200,...
Understanding the multiples of 720 helps solve mathematical problems and boost our multiplication and division skills. When working with multiples of 720, we need to apply it to different mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
720, 1,440, 2,160, 2,880, and 3,600 are the first five multiples of 720. When multiplying 720 from 1 to 5, we get these numbers as the products.
So, the sum of these multiples is:
720 + 1,440 + 2,160 + 2,880 + 3,600 = 10,800
When we add the first 5 multiples of 720, the answer will be 10,800.
While we do subtraction, it improves our comprehension of how the value decreases when each multiple is subtracted from the previous one. 720, 1,440, 2,160, 2,880, and 3,600 are the first five multiples of 720. So, let us calculate it as given below:
720 - 1,440 = -720
-720 - 2,160 = -2,880
-2,880 - 2,880 = -5,760
-5,760 - 3,600 = -9,360
Hence, the result of subtracting the first 5 multiples of 720 is -9,360.
To calculate the average, we need to identify the sum of the first 5 multiples of 720 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 720 is 10,800.
720 + 1,440 + 2,160 + 2,880 + 3,600 = 10,800
Next, divide the sum by 5:
10,800 ÷ 5 = 2,160
2,160 is the average of the first 5 multiples of 720.
The product of given numbers is the result of multiplying all of them together. Here, the first 5 multiples of 720 include: 720, 1,440, 2,160, 2,880, and 3,600. Now, the product of these numbers is:
720 × 1,440 × 2,160 × 2,880 × 3,600
The product of the first 5 multiples of 720 is quite large.
While we perform division, we get to know how many times 720 can fit into each of the given multiples. 720, 1,440, 2,160, 2,880, and 3,600 are the first 5 multiples of 720.
720 ÷ 720 = 1
1,440 ÷ 720 = 2
2,160 ÷ 720 = 3
2,880 ÷ 720 = 4
3,600 ÷ 720 = 5
The results of dividing the first 5 multiples of 720 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
While working with multiples of 720, we make common mistakes. Identifying these errors and understanding how to avoid them can be helpful. Below are some frequent mistakes and tips to avoid them:
A large warehouse stores crates in stacks. Each stack contains 720 crates. If the warehouse manager sets up 5 stacks, how many crates will be stored in total?
3,600 crates
To find the total number of crates, multiply the number of crates per stack by the number of stacks.
Number of crates per stack = 720
Number of stacks = 5
720 × 5 = 3,600
Therefore, the warehouse will store 3,600 crates in total.
During an annual bike rally, each participant must complete a circuit of 720 meters. If there are 3 participants, and each completes 4 circuits, what is the total distance covered by all participants?
8,640 meters
First, find the total distance covered by one participant by multiplying the circuit length by the number of circuits completed, then multiply by the number of participants.
Circuit length = 720 meters
Number of circuits per participant = 4
Number of participants = 3
720 × 4 × 3 = 8,640 meters
So, the total distance covered by all participants is 8,640 meters.
A printing company receives an order to print flyers in bundles of 720. If they need to deliver 10,080 flyers, how many bundles do they need to prepare?
14 bundles
To find the number of bundles required, divide the total number of flyers by the number of flyers per bundle.
Total number of flyers = 10,080
Flyers per bundle = 720
10,080 ÷ 720 = 14
Therefore, they need to prepare 14 bundles.
In a theater, each show has an audience capacity of 720 people. If the theater hosts 7 shows in a week, what is the maximum number of people who can attend the shows in that week?
5,040 people
To find the total audience capacity for the week, multiply the audience capacity per show by the number of shows.
Audience capacity per show = 720
Number of shows per week = 7
720 × 7 = 5,040
Thus, a maximum of 5,040 people can attend the shows in that week.
A factory produces 720 gadgets every hour. If the factory operates for 9 hours a day, how many gadgets will be produced in a single day?
6,480 gadgets
To find the total number of gadgets produced in a day, multiply the number of gadgets produced per hour by the number of operating hours.
Gadgets produced per hour = 720
Operating hours per day = 9
720 × 9 = 6,480
Therefore, 6,480 gadgets will be produced in a single day.
