Multiples of 2959 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 2959, you could start at 2959, and keep adding 2959 over and over: 2959, 5918, 8877, 11836, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 2959. 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 2959, you could just multiply 2959 by each number in sequence, first multiplying by 1, then 2, then 3, and so on, which we will outline below. What are the Multiples of 2959? So, what are the multiples of 2959? Let’s write it out using the multiplication method: 2959 × 1 = 2959 2959 × 1 = 2959 2959 × 1 = 2959 2959 × 2 = 5918 2959 × 2 = 5918 2959 × 2 = 5918 2959 × 3 = 8877 2959 × 3 = 8877 2959 × 3 = 8877 2959 × 4 = 11836 2959 × 4 = 11836 2959 × 4 = 11836 2959 × 5 = 14795 2959 × 5 = 14795 2959 × 5 = 14795 2959 × 6 = 17754 2959 × 6 = 17754 2959 × 6 = 17754 2959 × 7 = 20713 2959 × 7 = 20713 2959 × 7 = 20713 2959 × 8 = 23672 2959 × 8 = 23672 2959 × 8 = 23672 2959 × 9 = 26631 2959 × 9 = 26631 2959 × 9 = 26631 2959 × 10 = 29590 2959 × 10 = 29590 2959 × 10 = 29590 So, the first 10 multiples of 2959 are: 2959, 5918, 8877, 11836, 14795, 17754, 20713, 23672, 26631 and 29590. There are an endless number of multiples of 2959. You could choose any number to multiply by 2959 to find a new multiple! Interesting Facts about Multiples • Every number is considered the smallest multiple of itself. • A multiple of a number is very often also the multiple of another number. This is because if you multiply two numbers together, the result is a multiple of both numbers. • All multiples of even numbers are 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.
