Math Tutor Explains: Multiples of 3888

Our math tutors suggest that to get started with multiples, the easiest way is just to add a number to itself over and over again. For instance, if you want to find the multiples of 3888 using this method, you could start at 3888, and keep adding 3888 over and over: 3888, 7776, 11664, 15552, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 3888. Usually, this method works with numbers that are easily added to itself. As you get into larger numbers, it can become difficult to continue adding.

Another way to do this, as discussed above, is to use choose any number and multiply it by 3888. To find the first few multiples of 3888, you could just multiply the 3888 by 1, then 2, then 3, and so on, until you have as many multiples as you would like.

There are an endless number of multiples! You can keep using either of these methods to find as many multiples as you would like.

To find the first 10 multiples of 3888, let’s multiply in sequence from 1 to 10:

So, the first 10 multiples of 3888 are: 3888, 7776, 11664, 15552, 19440, 23328, 27216, 31104, 34992 and 38880.

• The smallest multiple of any number is itself.

• When you multiply two numbers together, the result is a multiple of both numbers.

• Every multiple of even numbers will also be even.

• The multiples of odd numbers, in sequence, alternate between odd and even numbers.

• You can also find the negative multiples of a number by multiplying by negative numbers.
