Multiples of 259
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 259, you could just multiply 259 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 259, start at 259 and keep adding 259 over and over: 259, 518, 777, 1036, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 259.
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 259?
Let’s find the first 10 multiples of 259 by multiplying:
259
∗
1
=
259
259 * 1 = 259
259 ∗ 1 = 259
259
∗
2
=
518
259 * 2 = 518
259 ∗ 2 = 518
259

=
1036
259 * 4 = 1036
259 ∗ 4 = 1036
259

5
=
1295
259 * 5 = 1295
259 ∗ 5 = 1295
259

7
=
1813
259 * 7 = 1813
259 ∗ 7 = 1813
259

=
2072
259 * 8 = 2072
259 ∗ 8 = 2072
259
∗
9
=
2331
259 * 9 = 2331
259 ∗ 9 = 2331
259
∗
10
=
2590
259 * 10 = 2590
259 ∗ 10 = 2590
So, the first 10 multiples of 259 are: 259, 518, 777, 1036, 1036, 1554, 1813, 2072, 2331 and 2590.
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.
