A:
Multiples of 2991 Methods Methods for Finding Multiples: For a beginner, you can find the multiples of a number by skip-counting to the next number. For Instance, if you want to find the multiples of 2991, you could start at 2991, and keep adding 2991 over and over: 2991, 5982, 8973, 11964, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 2991. Typically, this works best only for smaller numbers, as adding larger numbers together over and over can be difficult. Another way to do this is to use multiplication. To find the first few multiples of 2991, you could just multiply 2991 by each number in sequence, first multiplying by 1, then 2, then 3, and so on, which we will outline below. What are the Multiples of 2991? So, what are the multiples of 2991? Let’s write it out using the multiplication method: 2991 × 1 = 2991 2991 × 1 = 2991 2991 × 1 = 2991 2991 × 2 = 5982 2991 × 2 = 5982 2991 × 2 = 5982 2991 × 3 = 8973 2991 × 3 = 8973 2991 × 3 = 8973 2991 × 4 = 11964 2991 × 4 = 11964 2991 × 4 = 11964 2991 × 5 = 14955 2991 × 5 = 14955 2991 × 5 = 14955 2991 × 6 = 17946 2991 × 6 = 17946 2991 × 6 = 17946 2991 × 7 = 20937 2991 × 7 = 20937 2991 × 7 = 20937 2991 × 8 = 23928 2991 × 8 = 23928 2991 × 8 = 23928 2991 × 9 = 26919 2991 × 9 = 26919 2991 × 9 = 26919 2991 × 10 = 29910 2991 × 10 = 29910 2991 × 10 = 29910 So, the first 10 multiples of 2991 are: 2991, 5982, 8973, 11964, 14955, 17946, 20937, 23928, 26919 and 29910. There are an endless number of multiples of 2991. You could choose any number to multiply by 2991 to find a new multiple! Interesting Facts about Multiples • Every number is considered the smallest multiple of itself. • A multiple of a number is very often also the multiple of another number. This is because if you multiply two numbers together, the result is a multiple of both numbers. • All multiples of even numbers are even. • The multiples of odd numbers, in sequence, alternate between odd and even numbers. • You can also find the negative multiples of a number by multiplying by negative numbers.
