Multiples of 157
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 157, you could just multiply 157 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 157, start at 157 and keep adding 157 over and over: 157, 314, 471, 628, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 157.
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 157?
Let’s find the first 10 multiples of 157 by multiplying:
157
∗
1
=
157
157 * 1 = 157
157 ∗ 1 = 157
157
∗
2
=
314
157 * 2 = 314
157 ∗ 2 = 314
157
∗
3
=
471
157 * 3 = 471
157 ∗ 3 = 471
157
∗
4
=
628
157 * 4 = 628
157 ∗ 4 = 628
157
∗
5
=
785
157 * 5 = 785
157 ∗ 5 = 785
157
∗
6
=
942
157 * 6 = 942
157 ∗ 6 = 942
157
∗
7
=
1099
157 * 7 = 1099
157 ∗ 7 = 1099
157

8
=
1256
157 * 8 = 1256
157 ∗ 8 = 1256
157
∗
9
=
1413
157 * 9 = 1413
157 ∗ 9 = 1413
157
∗
10
=
1570
157 * 10 = 1570
157 ∗ 10 = 1570
So, the first 10 multiples of 157 are: 157, 314, 471, 628, 628, 942, 1099, 1256, 1413 and 1570.
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.
