In the problem above, we found math multiples of the whole number 4. The multiples of a whole number are found by taking the product of any counting number and that whole number. For example, to find the multiples of 3, multiply 3 by 1, 3 by 2, 3 by 3, and so on. To find the multiples of 5, multiply 5 by 1, 5 by 2, 5 by 3, and so on. The multiples are the products of these multiplications. Some examples of multiples can be found below. In each example, the counting numbers 1 through 8 are used. However, the list of multiples for a whole number is endless. The ... at the end of each list below lets us know that the list really goes on forever.

Example 1: Find the multiples of the whole number 4.
Multiplication: 4 x 1 4 x 2 4 x 3 4 x 4 4 x 5 4 x 6 4 x 7 4 x 8
Multiples of 4: 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32
Solution: The multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32,...

Example 2: Find the multiples of the whole number 5.
Multiplication: 5 x 1 5 x 2 5 x 3 5 x 4 5 x 5 5 x 6 5 x 7 5 x 8
Multiples of 5: 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40
Solution: The multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40,...


Example 3: Find the multiples of the whole number 7.
Multiplication: 7 x 1 7 x 2 7 x 3 7 x 4 7 x 5 7 x 6 7 x 7 7 x 8
Multiples of 7: 7 14 21 28 35 42 49 56
Solution: The multiples of 7 are 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56,...

Answer 2

Well, you can eliminate two of those bad boys just by eyeballin' em. Obviously, 106 isn't a multiple of 6, because 106 - 6 = 100, which intuitively you know isn't a multiple of 6.

Same with 333. You know that 300 is a multiple of 6, but that 33 isn't.

And ditto 424. Since 300 is a multiple of 6, you know 400 ain't. And 24 is. So 424 - 24 = 400, which can't be right. So by elimination it must be 882.

But let's check - take your calculator, or get your pencil ready for long division, and check each number. Just divide each number by 6, and the one that divides evenly into a whole number, with no remainder or fraction, that's your boy. In this case, it's 882

Answer 3

882....it is the only one of the 4 that divides evenly by 6. Use a calculator and divide them all by 6. 882 divides by 6 a total of 147 times. So, 147 x 6 = 882. Therefore, 882 is a multiple of 6.

Answer 4

C 882

Answer 5

882 is a multiple of 6 (answer c)
There are several simple ways to eliminate
the other choices and demonstrate this one.

Answer 6

C - is the only one with out having a remainder...so it's the only multiple of 6

Answer 7

Your answer is "C" -882

Answer 8

c. 882

divide this number by six and it gives you a number without decimals. that's how you can tell

Answer 9

i think 882 is the answer....

Answer 10

e. all of the above
