Multiples of 53
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 53, you could start at 53, and keep adding 53 over and over: 53, 106, 159, 212, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 53. 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 53, you could just multiply 53 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 53?
So, what are the multiples of 53? Let’s write it out using the multiplication method:
53
×
1
=
53
53 × 1 = 53

53 × 3 = 159
53 × 3 = 159
53
×
4
=
212
53 × 4 = 212
53 × 4 = 212
53
×
5
=
265
53 × 5 = 265
53 × 5 = 265
53
×
6
=
318
53 × 6 = 318
53 × 6 = 318
53
×
7
=
371
53 × 7 = 371
53 × 7 = 371
53
×
8
=

53
×
10
=
530
53 × 10 = 530
53 × 10 = 530
So, the first 10 multiples of 53 are: 53, 106, 159, 212, 265, 318, 371, 424, 477 and 530.
There are an endless number of multiples of 53. You could choose any number to multiply by 53 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.
