Multiples of 5

Q: How do you find the multiples of 5?

To find out the multiples of 5, we need to multiply 5 by any natural number. Natural numbers include 1, 2, 3,...etc. The results will be multiples of 5. Multiples of 5 will be larger or equal to 5. 5 × 1 = 5 5 × 2 = 10 5 × 3 = 15 5 × 4 = 20 5 × 5 = 25

Q: What is the LCM of 4 and 5?

LCM of 4 and 5 is 20. LCM refers to the Least Common Multiple of two or more numbers. While we find out the LCM of 4 and 5 using the listing method, we need to list the multiples of both 4 and 5. Multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40,… Multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45,… Here, the smallest common number that appears in both lists is 20. LCM of 4 and 5 = 20.

Q: What are the real-life applications of Multiples of 5?

Multiples of 5 can be helpful in various real-life situations. We can use it for calculating the price of items, evaluating the value of multiple items, and organizing a number into groups.

Q: Are multiples of 5 finite or infinite?

All the multiples of 5 are infinite. In multiplication, every number has infinite multiples, including a multiple of itself. There are both positive and negative multiples of 5. When we calculate 5 × n, if the integer ‘n’ goes on forever, the multiples of 5 also become infinite.

Q: Is there any odd multiples of 5?

Yes, there are odd numbers in the multiples of 5. Because 5 is an odd number. If we multiply an odd number by any odd number, we will get an odd number as the product. For example, 5 × 1 = 5 5 × 3 = 15 5 × 5 = 25 5 × 7 = 35 5 × 9 = 45

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 5.

What are the Multiples of 5?

Now, let us learn more about multiples of 5. Multiples of 5 are the numbers you get when you multiply 5 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 5 can be denoted as 5 × 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 5 × 1 will give us 5 as the product. Multiples of 5 will be larger or equal to 5.

List of First 20 Multiples of 5

Multiples of 5 include the products of 5 and an integer. Multiples of 5 are divisible by 5 evenly. The first few multiples of 5 are given below:

TABLE OF 5 (1-10)
5 x 1 = 5	5 x 6 = 30
5 x 2 = 10	5 x 7 = 35
5 x 3 = 15	5 x 8 = 40
5 x 4 = 20	5 x 9 = 45
5 x 5 = 25	5 x 10 = 50

TABLE OF 5 (11-20)
5 x 11 = 55	5 x 16 = 80
5 x 12 = 60	5 x 17 = 85
5 x 13 = 65	5 x 18 = 90
5 x 14 = 70	5 x 19 = 95
5 x 15 = 75	5 x 20 = 100

Now, we know the first few multiples of 5. They are 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50,...

Operations with Multiples of 5

Understanding the multiples of 5 helps solve mathematical problems and boost our multiplication and division skills. When working with multiples of 5, we need to apply it to different mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Sum of first 5 Multiples of 5:

5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 are the first five multiples of 5. When multiplying 5 from 1 to 5, we get these numbers as the products.

So, the sum of these multiples is:

5 + 10 + 15 + 20 + 25 = 75

When we add the first 5 multiples of 5, the answer will be 75.

Subtraction of first 5 Multiples of 5:

While we do subtraction, it improves our comprehension of how the value decreases when each multiple is subtracted from the previous one. 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 are the first five multiples of 5. So, let us calculate it as given below:

5 - 10 = -5
-5 - 15 = -20
-20 - 20 = -40
-40 - 25 = -65

Hence, the result of subtracting the first 5 multiples of 5 is -65.

Average of first 5 Multiples of 5:

To calculate the average, we need to identify the sum of the first 5 multiples of 5, 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 5 is 75.

5 + 10 + 15 + 20 + 25 = 75

Next, divide the sum by 5:

75 ÷ 5 = 15

15 is the average of the first 5 multiples of 5.

Product of First 5 Multiples of 5:

The product of given numbers is the result of multiplying all of them together. Here, the first 5 multiples of 5 include: 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25. Now, the product of these numbers is:

5 × 10 × 15 × 20 × 25 = 375,000

The product of the first 5 multiples of 5 is 375,000.

Division of First 5 Multiples of 5:

While we perform division, we get to know how many times 5 can fit into each of the given multiples. 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 are the first 5 multiples of 5.

5 ÷ 5 = 1
10 ÷ 5 = 2
15 ÷ 5 = 3
20 ÷ 5 = 4
25 ÷ 5 = 5

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