What are the first 3 multiples of 48
What is a multiple in math?
The multiple of a number is the product of this number by any other number (0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
Our calculator works on the set of natural numbers, but there are multiples in the set of numbers, integers, real, etc. Therefore, a multiple can also be negative.
For example, 144 can be divided by 3 without a reminder. Like this, 144 is a multiple of 48 because 3 times 48 equals 144. In other words, we can say that 144 is a multiple of 3 because there is a natural - 3 - which multiplied by 48 equals 144. The statement '144 is a multiple of 3' is equivalent to '144 is divisible by 3', or that 3 is a divider of 144.
So, to find the multiples of 48, simply multiply this number by a number of the set of natural numbers as many times as we want. See below how to do it for the number 48:
- 48 x 0 = 0, so 0 is a multiple of 48.
- 48 x 1 = 48, so 48 is a multiple of 48.
- 48 x 2 = 96, so 96 is a multiple of 48.
The first 3 multiples of 48 are: 0, 48, 96.
Facts About Multiples
- Any number is a multiple of itself (n x 1 = n).
- Any number is a multiple of 1 (1 x n = n).
- Zero is a multiple of any number (0 x n = 0).
- The set of multiples of a number is an infinite set since we can get this by multiplying the number given by all the natural numbers. The set of multiples of n can be represented by M n = {0 x n, 1 x n, 2 x n, 3 x n, 4 x n, ...} (where n is any natural). For example, the set of multiples of 48 is represented as M 48 = {0, 48,96,144,192, ...}.
Common Multiples
If two numbers are multiplied, then the product is a common multiple of these two numbers.
Example: if two numbers, 48 and 3, are multiplied, then the result, 144, is a common multiple of 48 and 3.
Note: The product of these two numbers is not necessarily the least common multiple-LCM of these numbers.
