Multiples of 2970
Methods
Methods for Finding Multiples:
The most common way to find multiples is to use multiplication. Multiplication of whole numbers always results in multiples of the numbers being multiplied. To find the first few multiples of 2970, you could just multiply 2970 by 1, then 2, then 3, and so on, until you have as many multiples as you would like. This is shown in the next section.
For younger students that don’t know how to multiply yet, the same result can be found just by counting, or skip-counting. To find multiples of any number, just add the number to itself multiple times. For instance, if you want to find the multiples of 2970, start at 2970 and keep adding 2970 over and over: 2970, 5940, 8910, 11880, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 2970.
There are an endless number of multiples! You can keep using either of these methods to find as many multiples as you would like.

2970 * 7 = 20790
2970 ∗ 7 = 20790
2970
∗
8
=
23760
2970 * 8 = 23760
2970 ∗ 8 = 23760
2970
∗
9
=
26730
2970 * 9 = 26730
2970 ∗ 9 = 26730
2970
∗
10
=
29700
2970 * 10 = 29700
2970 ∗ 10 = 29700
So, the first 10 multiples of 2970 are: 2970, 5940, 8910, 11880, 11880, 17820, 20790, 23760, 26730 and 29700.
Interesting Facts about Multiples
• The primary multiple of any number is itself.
