Multiples of 3600
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 3600, you could start at 3600, and keep adding 3600 over and over: 3600, 7200, 10800, 14400, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 3600. 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 3600, you could just multiply 3600 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 3600?
So, what are the multiples of 3600? Let’s write it out using the multiplication method:
3600

1
=
3600
3600 × 1 = 3600
3600 × 1 = 3600
3600
×
2
=
7200
3600 × 2 = 7200
3600 × 2 = 7200
3600

3
=
10800
3600 × 3 = 10800
3600 × 3 = 10800
3600
×
4
=
14400
3600 × 4 = 14400
3600 × 4 = 14400
3600
×
5
=
18000
3600 × 5 = 18000
3600 × 5 = 18000
3600
×
6
=
21600
3600 × 6 = 21600
3600 × 6 = 21600
3600
×
7
=
25200
3600 × 7 = 25200
3600 × 7 = 25200
3600
×
8
=
28800
3600 × 8 = 28800
3600 × 8 = 28800
3600
×
9
=
32400
3600 × 9 = 32400
3600 × 9 = 32400
3600
×
10
=
36000
3600 × 10 = 36000
3600 × 10 = 36000
So, the first 10 multiples of 3600 are: 3600, 7200, 10800, 14400, 18000, 21600, 25200, 28800, 32400 and 36000.
There are an endless number of multiples of 3600. You could choose any number to multiply by 3600 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.
