Multiples of 84
Methods
Methods for Finding Multiples:
To get started with multiples, the easiest way is just to add a number to itself over and over again. For instance, if you want to find the multiples of 84 using this method, you could start at 84, and keep adding 84 over and over: 84, 168, 252, 336, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 84. Usually, this method works with numbers that are easily added to itself. As you get into larger numbers, it can become difficult to continue adding.
Another way to do this, as discussed above, is to use choose any number and multiply it by 84. To find the first few multiples of 84, you could just multiply the 84 by 1, then 2, then 3, and so on, until you have as many multiples as you would like.
There are an endless number of multiples! You can keep using either of these methods to find as many multiples as you would like.
What are the Multiples of 84?
To find the first 10 multiples of 84, let’s multiply in sequence from 1 to 10:
84
∗
1
=
84
84 * 1 = 84
84 ∗ 1 = 84
84
∗
2
=
168
84 * 2 = 168
84 ∗ 2 = 168
84
∗
3
=
252
84 * 3 = 252
84 ∗ 3 = 252
84
∗
4
=
336
84 * 4 = 336
84 ∗ 4 = 336
84
∗
5
=
420
84 * 5 = 420
84 ∗ 5 = 420
84
∗
6
=
504
84 * 6 = 504
84 ∗ 6 = 504
84
∗
7
=
588
84 * 7 = 588
84 ∗ 7 = 588
84
∗
8
=
672
84 * 8 = 672
84 ∗ 8 = 672
84
∗
9
=
756
84 * 9 = 756
84 ∗ 9 = 756
84
∗
10
=
840
84 * 10 = 840
84 ∗ 10 = 840
So, the first 10 multiples of 84 are: 84, 168, 252, 336, 420, 504, 588, 672, 756 and 840.
