Multiples of 3500
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 3500, you could start at 3500, and keep adding 3500 over and over: 3500, 7000, 10500, 14000, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 3500. 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 3500, you could just multiply 3500 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 3500?
So, what are the multiples of 3500? Let’s write it out using the multiplication method:
3500
×
1
=
3500
3500 × 1 = 3500
3500 × 1 = 3500
3500
×
2
=
7000
3500 × 2 = 7000
3500 × 2 = 7000
3500
×
3
=
10500
3500 × 3 = 10500
3500 × 3 = 10500
3500
×
4
=
14000
3500 × 4 = 14000
3500 × 4 = 14000
3500
×
5
=
17500
3500 × 5 = 17500
3500 × 5 = 17500
3500
×
6
=
21000
3500 × 6 = 21000
3500 × 6 = 21000
3500
×
7
=
24500
3500 × 7 = 24500
3500 × 7 = 24500
3500
×
8
=
28000
3500 × 8 = 28000
3500 × 8 = 28000
3500
×
9
=
31500
3500 × 9 = 31500
3500 × 9 = 31500
3500
×
10
=
35000
3500 × 10 = 35000
3500 × 10 = 35000
So, the first 10 multiples of 3500 are: 3500, 7000, 10500, 14000, 17500, 21000, 24500, 28000, 31500 and 35000.
There are an endless number of multiples of 3500. You could choose any number to multiply by 3500 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.
