Multiples of 250
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 250, you could start at 250, and keep adding 250 over and over: 250, 500, 750, 1000, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 250. 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 250, you could just multiply 250 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 250?
So, what are the multiples of 250? Let’s write it out using the multiplication method:
250
×
1
=
250
250 × 1 = 250
250 × 1 = 250
250
×
2
=
500
250 × 2 = 500
250 × 2 = 500
250
×
3
=
750
250 × 3 = 750
250 × 3 = 750
250
×
4
=
1000
250 × 4 = 1000
250 × 4 = 1000
250
×
5
=
1250
250 × 5 = 1250
250 × 5 = 1250
250
×
6
=
1500
250 × 6 = 1500
250 × 6 = 1500
250
×
7
=
1750
250 × 7 = 1750
250 × 7 = 1750
250
×
8
=
2000
250 × 8 = 2000
250 × 8 = 2000
250
×
9
=
2250
250 × 9 = 2250
250 × 9 = 2250
250
×
10
=
2500
250 × 10 = 2500
250 × 10 = 2500
So, the first 10 multiples of 250 are: 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, 1750, 2000, 2250 and 2500.
There are an endless number of multiples of 250. You could choose any number to multiply by 250 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.
