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 27.

What are the Multiples of 27?

Now, let us learn more about multiples of 27. Multiples of 27 are the numbers you get when you multiply 27 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 27 can be denoted as 27 × 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 27 × 1 will give us 27 as the product. Multiples of 27 will be larger or equal to 27.Multiples of 27

List of First 20 Multiples of 27

Multiples of 27 include the products of 27 and an integer. Multiples of 27 are divisible by 27 evenly. The first few multiples of 27 are given below:

 

TABLE OF 27 (1-10)

27 x 1 = 27

27 x 6 = 162

27 x 2 = 54

27 x 7 = 189

27 x 3 = 81

27 x 8 = 216

27 x 4 = 108

27 x 9 = 243

27 x 5 = 135

27 x 10 = 270

 

TABLE OF 27 (11-20)

27 x 11 = 297

27 x 16 = 432

27 x 12 = 324

27 x 17 = 459

27 x 13 = 351

27 x 18 = 486

27 x 14 = 378

27 x 19 = 513

27 x 15 = 405

27 x 20 = 540

  

Now, we know the first few multiples of 27. They are 0, 27, 54, 81, 108, 135, 162, 189, 216, 243, 270,...

Operations with Multiples of 27

Understanding the multiples of 27 helps solve mathematical problems and boost our multiplication and division skills. When working with multiples of 27, we need to apply it to different mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

 

Sum of First 5 Multiples of 27:

 

27, 54, 81, 108, and 135 are the first five multiples of 27. When multiplying 27 from 1 to 5, we get these numbers as the products. So, the sum of these multiples is:

 

27 + 54 + 81 + 108 + 135 = 405

 

When we add the first 5 multiples of 27, the answer will be 405.

 

Subtraction of First 5 Multiples of 27:

 

While we do subtraction, it improves our comprehension of how the value decreases when each multiple is subtracted from the previous one. 27, 54, 81, 108, and 135 are the first five multiples of 27. So, let us calculate it as given below:

 

27 - 54 = -27  
-27 - 81 = -108  
-108 - 108 = -216  
-216 - 135 = -351  

 

Hence, the result of subtracting the first 5 multiples of 27 is -351.

 

Average of First 5 Multiples of 27:

 

To calculate the average, we need to identify the sum of the first 5 multiples of 27, and then divide it by the count, i.e., 5. Because there are 5 multiples presented in the calculation. Averaging helps us understand the concepts of central tendencies and other values. We know the sum of the first 5 multiples of 27 is 405.

 

27 + 54 + 81 + 108 + 135 = 405

 

Next, divide the sum by 5:

 

405 ÷ 5 = 81

 

81 is the average of the first 5 multiples of 27.

 

Product of First 5 Multiples of 27:

 

The product of given numbers is the result of multiplying all of them together. Here, the first 5 multiples of 27 include: 27, 54, 81, 108, and 135. Now, the product of these numbers is:

 

27 × 54 × 81 × 108 × 135 = 116,689,920

 

The product of the first 5 multiples of 27 is 116,689,920.

 

Division of First 5 Multiples of 27:

 

While we perform division, we get to know how many times 27 can fit into each of the given multiples. 27, 54, 81, 108, and 135 are the first 5 multiples of 27.

 

27 ÷ 27 = 1  
54 ÷ 27 = 2  
81 ÷ 27 = 3  
108 ÷ 27 = 4  
135 ÷ 27 = 5  

 

The results of dividing the first 5 multiples of 27 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
