Multiples of 3200
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 3200, you could start at 3200, and keep adding 3200 over and over: 3200, 6400, 9600, 12800, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 3200. 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 3200, you could just multiply 3200 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 3200?
So, what are the multiples of 3200? Let’s write it out using the multiplication method:
3200

3
=
9600
3200 × 3 = 9600
3200 × 3 = 9600
3200
×
4
=
12800
3200 × 4 = 12800
3200 × 4 = 12800
3200
×
5
=
16000
3200 × 5 = 16000
3200 × 5 = 16000
3200
×
6
=
19200
3200 × 6 = 19200
3200 × 6 = 19200
3200
×
7
=
22400
3200 × 7 = 22400
3200 × 7 = 22400
3200
×
8
=
25600
3200 × 8 = 25600
3200 × 8 = 25600
3200
×
9
=
28800
3200 × 9 = 28800
3200 × 9 = 28800
3200
×
10
=
32000
3200 × 10 = 32000
3200 × 10 = 32000
So, the first 10 multiples of 3200 are: 3200, 6400, 9600, 12800, 16000, 19200, 22400, 25600, 28800 and 32000.
There are an endless number of multiples of 3200. You could choose any number to multiply by 3200 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.
