Multiples of 503
Methods
Methods for Finding Multiples:
The most common way to find multiples is to use multiplication. Multiplication of whole numbers always results in multiples of the numbers being multiplied. To find the first few multiples of 503, you could just multiply 503 by 1, then 2, then 3, and so on, until you have as many multiples as you would like. This is shown in the next section.
For younger students that don’t know how to multiply yet, the same result can be found just by counting, or skip-counting. To find multiples of any number, just add the number to itself multiple times. For instance, if you want to find the multiples of 503, start at 503 and keep adding 503 over and over: 503, 1006, 1509, 2012, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 503.
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 503?
Let’s find the first 10 multiples of 503 by multiplying:
503
∗
1
=
503
503 * 1 = 503
503 ∗ 1 = 503
503
∗
2
=
1006
503 * 2 = 1006
503 ∗ 2 = 1006
503
∗
3
=
1509
503 * 3 = 1509
503 ∗ 3 = 1509
503
∗
4
=
2012
503 * 4 = 2012
503 ∗ 4 = 2012
503
∗
5
=
2515
503 * 5 = 2515
503 ∗ 5 = 2515
503
∗
6
=
3018
503 * 6 = 3018
503 ∗ 6 = 3018
503
∗
7
=
3521
503 * 7 = 3521
503 ∗ 7 = 3521
503
∗
8
=
4024
503 * 8 = 4024
503 ∗ 8 = 4024
503
∗
9
=
4527
503 * 9 = 4527
503 ∗ 9 = 4527
503
∗
10
=
5030
503 * 10 = 5030
503 ∗ 10 = 5030
So, the first 10 multiples of 503 are: 503, 1006, 1509, 2012, 2012, 3018, 3521, 4024, 4527 and 5030.
Interesting Facts about Multiples
• The primary multiple of any number is itself.
• The result of any multiplication of whole numbers is a multiple of all the numbers being multiplied together. As such, every multiple is also a multiple of another number.
• Every multiple of even numbers will also be even.
• The successive multiples of odd numbers alternate between odd and even numbers.
• You can also find negative multiples of a number by multiplying by negative numbers.
