Step-by-Step: How to List the Multiples of 72
A multiple of n is the result of multiplying n by any natural number (1, 2, 3, ...). To list the first k multiples, just multiply 72 by each integer from 1 to k:
- 72 × 1 = 72
- 72 × 2 = 144
- 72 × 3 = 216
- …continue up to 72 × 20 = 1440.
- Sum of these 20 multiples: 72 × (1+2+…+20) = 72 × 210 = 15120.
Shortcut: the sum of the first 20 multiples of 72 always equals 210n, since 1+2+…+20 = 210.
Facts About Multiples
- Any number is a multiple of itself (n × 1 = n).
- Any number is a multiple of 1 (1 × n = n).
- Zero is a multiple of any number (0 × n = 0).
- The set of multiples of a number is infinite — every natural-number multiplier produces another multiple.
- If two numbers a and b are multiplied, the product a × b is a common multiple of both (but not necessarily the least common multiple — LCM).
The set of multiples of n can be represented as Mn = {0, 1·n, 2·n, 3·n, …}. For example: M72 = {0, 72, 144, 216, 288, …}.
