This worksheet is about multiples of numbers.

4, 6, 8, 10 are multiples of 2 because they appear as answers in the 2 times table.

3, 6, 9, 30, 33, 300 are multiples of 3 because they appear as answers in the 3 times table.

Multiples go on for ever.

It helps to look for patterns, for example, can you find one in these numbers?

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40

All multiples of 5 end in a 0 or 5.

All multiples of 2 end in a 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8.  They are even numbers.

Example

Which of these numbers are multiples of 4 which lie between 40 and 50 inclusive?

32, 36, 40, 42, 44, 48, 52

Answer

"Between 40 and 50 inclusive" means that we can include 40 and 50.

10 × 4 = 40, so we can start at 40 and add on 4 each time.

We get:

40, 44, and 48.
