Multiples of 4200
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 4200, you could start at 4200, and keep adding 4200 over and over: 4200, 8400, 12600, 16800, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 4200. 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 4200, you could just multiply 4200 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 4200?

5
=
21000
4200 × 5 = 21000
4200 × 5 = 21000
4200
×
6
=
25200
4200 × 6 = 25200

7
=
29400
4200 × 7 = 29400
4200 × 7 = 29400
4200
×
8
=
33600
4200 × 8 = 33600
4200 × 8 = 33600
4200
×
9
=
37800
4200 × 9 = 37800
4200 × 9 = 37800
4200
×
10
=
42000
4200 × 10 = 42000
4200 × 10 = 42000
So, the first 10 multiples of 4200 are: 4200, 8400, 12600, 16800, 21000, 25200, 29400, 33600, 37800 and 42000.
There are an endless number of multiples of 4200. You could choose any number to multiply by 4200 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.
