Multiples of 40
Methods
Methods for Finding Multiples:
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 40 using this method, you could start at 40, and keep adding 40 over and over: 40, 80, 120, 160, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 40. 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 40. To find the first few multiples of 40, you could just multiply the 40 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.
What are the Multiples of 40?
To find the first 10 multiples of 40, let’s multiply in sequence from 1 to 10:
40
∗
1
=
40
40 * 1 = 40
40 ∗ 1 = 40
40
∗
2
=
80
40 * 2 = 80
40 ∗ 2 = 80
40
∗
3
=
120
40 * 3 = 120
40 ∗ 3 = 120
40
∗
4
=
160
40 * 4 = 160
40 ∗ 4 = 160
40
∗
5
=
200
40 * 5 = 200
40 ∗ 5 = 200
40
∗
6
=
240
40 * 6 = 240
40 ∗ 6 = 240
40
∗
7
=
280
40 * 7 = 280
40 ∗ 7 = 280
40
∗
8
=
320
40 * 8 = 320
40 ∗ 8 = 320
40
∗
9
=
360
40 * 9 = 360
40 ∗ 9 = 360
40
∗
10
=
400
40 * 10 = 400
40 ∗ 10 = 400
So, the first 10 multiples of 40 are: 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280, 320, 360 and 400.
Interesting Facts about Multiples
• The smallest multiple of any number is itself.

• 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.
