Multiples of 3120
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 3120, you could start at 3120, and keep adding 3120 over and over: 3120, 6240, 9360, 12480, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 3120. 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 3120, you could just multiply 3120 by each number in sequence, first multiplying by 1, then 2, then 3, and so on, which we will outline below.
