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 18.
Now, let us learn more about multiples of 18. Multiples of 18 are the numbers you get when you multiply 18 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 18 can be denoted as 18 × 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 18 × 1 will give us 18 as the product. Multiples of 18 will be larger or equal to 18.
Multiples of 18 include the products of 18 and an integer. Multiples of 18 are divisible by 18 evenly. The first few multiples of 18 are given below:
TABLE OF 18 (1-10) | |
---|---|
18 × 1 = 18 |
18 × 6 = 108 |
18 × 2 = 36 |
18 × 7 = 126 |
18 × 3 = 54 |
18 × 8 = 144 |
18 × 4 = 72 |
18 × 9 = 162 |
18 × 5 = 90 |
18 × 10 = 180 |
TABLE OF 18 (11-20) | |
---|---|
18 × 11 = 198 |
18 × 16 = 288 |
18 × 12 = 216 |
18 × 17 = 306 |
18 × 13 = 234 |
18 × 18 = 324 |
18 × 14 = 252 |
18 × 19 = 342 |
18 × 15 = 270 |
18 × 20 = 360 |
Now, we know the first few multiples of 18. They are 0, 18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, 126, 144, 162, 180,...
Understanding the multiples of 18 helps solve mathematical problems and boost our multiplication and division skills. When working with multiples of 18, we need to apply it to different mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
18, 36, 54, 72, and 90 are the first five multiples of 18. When multiplying 18 from 1 to 5, we get these numbers as the products.
So, the sum of these multiples is:
18 + 36 + 54 + 72 + 90 = 270
When we add the first 5 multiples of 18, the answer will be 270.
While we do subtraction, it improves our comprehension of how the value decreases when each multiple is subtracted from the previous one. 18, 36, 54, 72, and 90 are the first five multiples of 18. So, let us calculate it as given below:
18 - 36 = -18
-18 - 54 = -72
-72 - 72 = -144
-144 - 90 = -234
Hence, the result of subtracting the first 5 multiples of 18 is -234.
To calculate the average, we need to identify the sum of the first 5 multiples of 18, 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 18 is 270.
18 + 36 + 54 + 72 + 90 = 270
Next, divide the sum by 5:
270 ÷ 5 = 54
54 is the average of the first 5 multiples of 18.
The product of given numbers is the result of multiplying all of them together. Here, the first 5 multiples of 18 include: 18, 36, 54, 72, and 90. Now, the product of these numbers is:
18 × 36 × 54 × 72 × 90 = 2,550,585,600
The product of the first 5 multiples of 18 is 2,550,585,600.
While we perform division, we get to know how many times 18 can fit into each of the given multiples. 18, 36, 54, 72, and 90 are the first 5 multiples of 18.
18 ÷ 18 = 1
36 ÷ 18 = 2
54 ÷ 18 = 3
72 ÷ 18 = 4
90 ÷ 18 = 5
The results of dividing the first 5 multiples of 18 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
While working with multiples of 18, 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:
In a community art project, each participant is tasked with creating a mural. Each mural consists of 18 tiles, and the project will run for 6 weeks with one mural completed each week. How many tiles will be used in total by the end of the project?
108 tiles
Each week, a mural of 18 tiles is completed. To find the total number of tiles used after 6 weeks, multiply the number of tiles per mural by the number of weeks.
Tiles per mural = 18
Number of weeks = 6
18 × 6 = 108
Thus, 108 tiles will be used in total by the end of the project.
Three friends, Alex, Ben, and Chloe, are stacking chairs for an event. They stack chairs in multiples of 18. If Alex stacks the first multiple, Ben stacks the second, and Chloe stacks the third, how many chairs does each person stack?
Alex stacks 18 chairs, Ben stacks 36 chairs, Chloe stacks 54 chairs.
Identify the first three multiples of 18:
18 × 1 = 18
18 × 2 = 36
18 × 3 = 54
Therefore, Alex stacks 18 chairs, Ben stacks 36 chairs, and Chloe stacks 54 chairs.
In a large warehouse, there are 18 storage units. Each storage unit holds 18 boxes. How many boxes are there in total?
324 boxes
To find the total number of boxes, multiply the number of storage units by the number of boxes in each unit.
Number of storage units = 18
Number of boxes in each unit = 18
18 × 18 = 324
Therefore, there are 324 boxes in total in the warehouse.
Sophia is organizing a charity run. She plans to distribute t-shirts in groups of 18. If she has 5 such groups ready for the event, how many t-shirts does she have in total?
90 t-shirts
To find the total number of t-shirts, multiply the number of groups by the number of t-shirts in each group.
Number of groups = 5
Number of t-shirts per group = 18
5 × 18 = 90
So, there are 90 t-shirts in total for the event.
Jacob is decorating a cake with layers of frosting. The first layer uses 18 ounces of frosting, the second uses 36 ounces, and the third uses 54 ounces. How much frosting is used in total for all three layers?
108 ounces
The frosting used for each layer is added together to find the total amount used.
First layer: 18 ounces
Second layer: 36 ounces
Third layer: 54 ounces
18 + 36 + 54 = 108
Thus, a total of 108 ounces of frosting is used for all three layers.
