What is Multiple?

The basic Multiple definitions are Multiple. In Math, the meaning of a Multiple is the product result of multiplying one Number by another.

 

For children, we can define Multiple as a Number composed of more than one. It is the many copies of the same Number done simply and shortly. In simple words, the many copies of the same Number are Multiples.


Multiple of 4 

A Multiple of 4 is any Number that is writable in the 4n form where n is an Integer. A Multiple is a result of multiplying an Integer (not a Fraction) by one Number.

 

A Multiple of a Number is a certain Number that results when multiplying that Number. 12 is, for instance, a Multiple of 4. Multiplying 4 by 3 means you get 12. The Mathematical definition offers "A whole Number that can be divided by another whole Number without a residual." Whole Numbers in general use, specify "a Fraction's denominator is a Multiple of 4." 

 

Multiple Numbers play an important part in our everyday lives. That is the foundation of Mathematical calculations. Let's just say you go to a restaurant with your friend. You have your lunch there every fourth day, and your friend has his lunch every sixth day so how many days do you meet again for lunch at the same restaurant?

 

The answer is 12. It is truly interesting how we got this answer. This is the Multiple magic of what we use in our daily lives. These calculations ease our day-to-day life with simple calculations and effective outcomes. So let's learn the basics of Numbers Multiple.

 

Multiple is an outcome that we get after multiplying one Number with another Number. For example; if we multiply 5 by 5 you will get 25. Though defining Multiple in Mathematics has a manifold but for explaining to the students it can be defined as a Number that we get when we multiply one whole Number with another whole Number.

 

In Mathematics Multiple of 4 is the Number that answers 0 when it is divided by 4. In other words, the Multiple of 4 is the product of 4 with a Natural Number. In addition to this, if we multiply 4 by 4, we will get an answer 16. Hence 16 is the Multiple of 4.   

 

Some of the more examples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, and 20, and so on. Thus all those Numbers which can be divided or the solutions of 4 are Multiples of 4.

 

Concept of Multiple of 4:

Whichever Number can be articulated in the form of 4n where n is an Integer is a Multiple of 4. In other words, the Multiples of 4 are the Numbers that leave no remainder (i.e. Remainder = 0), when it is divided by 4.  Moreover; Multiples can also be obtained through the repeated addition of a Number as many times as required. For example, the first five Multiples of 4 can be written as:

4 × 1 = 4

4 × 2 = 8 or 4 + 4 = 8 {here 4 are added for twice}

4 × 3 = 12 or 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 {here 4 is added for thrice}

4 × 4 = 16 or 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16

4 × 5 = 20 or 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 20

In the same way, we can write numerous Multiples of 4.

 

Properties of Multiple of 4:

The properties of Multiples of 4 will give more clarity about Multiples of 4.  Here are some of the properties of Multiples of 4 which will tell students about the nature of Multiples.

Unlike every Number 4 is a Multiple of 1 eg; 4*1=4.

Each and every Number of Multiple of 4 will be greater than or equal to the Number 4.

As we know the Multiple of Numbers is infinite therefore 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, etc. are the infinite Number of 4.

Correct Answer: C

The next multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20. 

3. Why it is important to study the Multiples?

Multiple Numbers play an important role in our day-to-day life. It makes our life easy with simple calculations by giving effective results. Multiples are the basic foundation of Mathematical calculations. To get mastery in Mathematics one should have a clear knowledge of Multiples. 

4. How to memorize the multiples of 4? 

Memorizing the Multiple of 4 is easy to remember. The best practice is to prepare the cart of Multiples of 4 and hang it on the wall of the children’s room and ask them to read several times and try to memorize them. Sometimes they might get confused when Mathematical problems include a Multiple of 4 greater than 4*10 at that time make them learn a higher Multiple of 4 i.e. 4*12=  48 with the help of a chart. This will help them to memorize the Multiple of 4 quickly and easily. 

5. How to recognize multiples of 4?

The following points will help students to identify Multiples of 4:

  • Multiples of 4 are Numbers included in the table of 4.

  • A Number is divisible by 4 if the last two digits are divisible by 4.

  • If you halve the tens and ones part of a Number and the answer is Even, then it is a Multiple of 4. 

6. What are the tips and tricks to learn Multiples of 4?

Students or parents can refer to the following tips and tricks to learn Multiples of 4:

  • Using a Multiplication grid.

  • Ask students to notice patterns in Multiplication of 4.

  • Make their concept clear about Even Numbers eg; 4 is an Even Number so when it is Multiple by another Even Number the answer will be an Even Number.

  • Make a flashcard and let the students learn the Multiples of 4 in the play way method.

7. Are multiples of 4 always even?

Yes! The reason is 4 is an Even Number and it is proved that when any Even Number times with any other Even time will always be an Even Number. Thus when you multiply 4 equal to 2 the answer is 8 which is an Even Number.
