A:
Multiples of 1981 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 1981, you could start at 1981, and keep adding 1981 over and over: 1981, 3962, 5943, 7924, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 1981. 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 1981, you could just multiply 1981 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 1981? So, what are the multiples of 1981? Let’s write it out using the multiplication method: 1981 × 1 = 1981 1981 × 1 = 1981 1981 × 1 = 1981 1981 × 2 = 3962 1981 × 2 = 3962 1981 × 2 = 3962 1981 × 3 = 5943 1981 × 3 = 5943 1981 × 3 = 5943 1981 × 4 = 7924 1981 × 4 = 7924 1981 × 4 = 7924 1981 × 5 = 9905 1981 × 5 = 9905 1981 × 5 = 9905 1981 × 6 = 11886 1981 × 6 = 11886 1981 × 6 = 11886 1981 × 7 = 13867 1981 × 7 = 13867 1981 × 7 = 13867 1981 × 8 = 15848 1981 × 8 = 15848 1981 × 8 = 15848 1981 × 9 = 17829 1981 × 9 = 17829 1981 × 9 = 17829 1981 × 10 = 19810 1981 × 10 = 19810 1981 × 10 = 19810 So, the first 10 multiples of 1981 are: 1981, 3962, 5943, 7924, 9905, 11886, 13867, 15848, 17829 and 19810. There are an endless number of multiples of 1981. You could choose any number to multiply by 1981 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.
