Multiples of 1215
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 1215, you could just multiply 1215 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 1215, start at 1215 and keep adding 1215 over and over: 1215, 2430, 3645, 4860, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 1215.
There are an endless number of multiples! You can keep using either of these methods to find as many multiples as you would like.

=
4860
1215 * 4 = 4860
1215 ∗ 4 = 4860
1215
∗
5
=
6075
1215 * 5 = 6075
1215 ∗ 5 = 6075
1215
∗
6
=
7290
1215 * 6 = 7290
1215 ∗ 6 = 7290
1215

1215 * 8 = 9720
1215 ∗ 8 = 9720
1215
∗
9
=
10935
1215 * 9 = 10935
1215 ∗ 9 = 10935
1215
∗
10
=
12150
1215 * 10 = 12150
1215 ∗ 10 = 12150
So, the first 10 multiples of 1215 are: 1215, 2430, 3645, 4860, 4860, 7290, 8505, 9720, 10935 and 12150.
Interesting Facts about Multiples
• The primary multiple of any number is itself.
