The concepts for this exercise are summarized below.
For a complete discussion, read the text.
The multiples of 2 are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and so on.
Notice that the multiples of 2 are obtained by taking the number 2, and
multiplying successively by 1, 2, 3, ... .
Notice also that 2 goes into each of these numbers evenly.
The multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, and so on.
Notice that the multiples of 3 are obtained by taking the number 3, and
multiplying successively by 1, 2, 3, ... .
Notice also that 3 goes into each of these numbers evenly.
In general, the multiples of a number x are
x, 2x, 3x, 4x, and so on.
To test if something is a multiple of x , just see if x goes into it evenly.
EXAMPLES:
Is 48 a multiple of 6 ?
Answer: YES (6 goes into 48 evenly)
Is 30 a multiple of 7 ?
Answer: NO (7 does not go into 30 evenly)
