Multiples of 1996
Methods
Methods for Finding Multiples:
To get started with multiples, the easiest way is just to add a number to itself over and over again. For instance, if you want to find the multiples of 1996 using this method, you could start at 1996, and keep adding 1996 over and over: 1996, 3992, 5988, 7984, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 1996. Usually, this method works with numbers that are easily added to itself. As you get into larger numbers, it can become difficult to continue adding.
Another way to do this, as discussed above, is to use choose any number and multiply it by 1996. To find the first few multiples of 1996, you could just multiply the 1996 by 1, then 2, then 3, and so on, until you have as many multiples as you would like.
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 1996?
To find the first 10 multiples of 1996, let’s multiply in sequence from 1 to 10:
1996
∗
1
=
1996
1996 * 1 = 1996
1996 ∗ 1 = 1996
1996
∗
2
=
3992
1996 * 2 = 3992
1996 ∗ 2 = 3992
1996
∗
3
=
5988
1996 * 3 = 5988
1996 ∗ 3 = 5988
1996
∗
4
=
7984
1996 * 4 = 7984
1996 ∗ 4 = 7984
1996
∗
5
=
9980
1996 * 5 = 9980
1996 ∗ 5 = 9980
1996
∗
6
=
11976
1996 * 6 = 11976
1996 ∗ 6 = 11976
1996
∗
7
=
13972
1996 * 7 = 13972
1996 ∗ 7 = 13972
1996
∗
8
=
15968
1996 * 8 = 15968
1996 ∗ 8 = 15968
1996
∗
9
=
17964
1996 * 9 = 17964
1996 ∗ 9 = 17964
1996
∗
10
=
19960
1996 * 10 = 19960
1996 ∗ 10 = 19960
So, the first 10 multiples of 1996 are: 1996, 3992, 5988, 7984, 9980, 11976, 13972, 15968, 17964 and 19960.
