Advance Topics

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 500.

What are the Multiples of 500?

Now, let us learn more about multiples of 500. Multiples of 500 are the numbers you get when you multiply 500 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 500 can be denoted as 500 × 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 500 × 1 will give us 500 as the product.

 

Multiples of 500 will be larger or equal to 500.

List of First 20 Multiples of 500

Multiples of 500 include the products of 500 and an integer. Multiples of 500 are divisible by 500 evenly. The first few multiples of 500 are given below: 

 

TABLE OF 500 (1-10)

500 x 1 = 500

500 x 6 = 3000

500 x 2 = 1000

500 x 7 = 3500

500 x 3 = 1500

500 x 8 = 4000

500 x 4 = 2000

500 x 9 = 4500

500 x 5 = 2500

500 x 10 = 5000

 

TABLE OF 500 (11-20)

500 x 11 = 5500

500 x 16 = 8000

500 x 12 = 6000

500 x 17 = 8500

500 x 13 = 6500

500 x 18 = 9000

500 x 14 = 7000

500 x 19 = 9500

500 x 15 = 7500

500 x 20 = 10000

 

Now, we know the first few multiples of 500. They are 0, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 3000, 3500, 4000, 4500, 5000,...

Operations with Multiples of 500

Understanding the multiples of 500 helps solve mathematical problems and boost our multiplication and division skills. When working with multiples of 500, we need to apply them to different mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Sum of first 5 Multiples of 500:

500, 1000, 1500, 2000, and 2500 are the first five multiples of 500. When multiplying 500 from 1 to 5, we get these numbers as the products.  
So, the sum of these multiples is:
500 + 1000 + 1500 + 2000 + 2500 = 7500

Subtraction of first 5 Multiples of 500:

While we do subtraction, it improves our comprehension of how the value decreases when each multiple is subtracted from the previous one. 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, and 2500 are the first five multiples of 500. So, let us calculate it as given below:
500 - 1000 = -500  
-500 - 1500 = -2000  
-2000 - 2000 = -4000  
-4000 - 2500 = -6500  

Hence, the result of subtracting the first 5 multiples of 500 is -6500.

Average of first 5 Multiples of 500:

To calculate the average, we need to identify the sum of the first 5 multiples of 500 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 500 is 7500.
7500 ÷ 5 = 1500

1500 is the average of the first 5 multiples of 500.

Product of First 5 Multiples of 500:

The product of given numbers is the result of multiplying all of them together. Here, the first 5 multiples of 500 include: 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, and 2500. Now, the product of these numbers is:
500 × 1000 × 1500 × 2000 × 2500 = 3,750,000,000,000,000

The product of the first 5 multiples of 500 is 3,750,000,000,000,000.

Division of First 5 Multiples of 500:

While we perform division, we get to know how many times 500 can fit into each of the given multiples. 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, and 2500 are the first 5 multiples of 500.
500 ÷ 500 = 1  
1000 ÷ 500 = 2  
1500 ÷ 500 = 3  
2000 ÷ 500 = 4  
2500 ÷ 500 = 5  

The results of dividing the first 5 multiples of 500 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
