Starting at 0 we can count up in 7s like this:

0    7    14    21    28    35    42    49    56    63    70    77    84 ...

We add 7 to the previous number to get the next.

These are the multiples of 7.

Example

When we count up in 7s, what comes after 49?

Answer

35    42    49    56

Example

56    63    70    77    84

Let's practise this in the questions now.
