Multiples of 1200
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 1200, you could start at 1200, and keep adding 1200 over and over: 1200, 2400, 3600, 4800, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 1200. 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 1200, you could just multiply 1200 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 1200?
So, what are the multiples of 1200? Let’s write it out using the multiplication method:
1200
×
1
=
1200
1200 × 1 = 1200
1200 × 1 = 1200
1200
×
2
=
2400
1200 × 2 = 2400
1200 × 2 = 2400
1200
×
3
=
3600
1200 × 3 = 3600
1200 × 3 = 3600
1200
×
4
=
4800
1200 × 4 = 4800
1200 × 4 = 4800
1200
×
5
=
6000
1200 × 5 = 6000
1200 × 5 = 6000
1200
×
6
=
7200
1200 × 6 = 7200
1200 × 6 = 7200
1200
×
7
=
8400
1200 × 7 = 8400
1200 × 7 = 8400
1200
×
8
=
9600
1200 × 8 = 9600
1200 × 8 = 9600
1200
×
9
=
10800
1200 × 9 = 10800
1200 × 9 = 10800
1200
×
10
=
12000
1200 × 10 = 12000
1200 × 10 = 12000
So, the first 10 multiples of 1200 are: 1200, 2400, 3600, 4800, 6000, 7200, 8400, 9600, 10800 and 12000.
There are an endless number of multiples of 1200. You could choose any number to multiply by 1200 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.
