Multiples of 999
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 999 using this method, you could start at 999, and keep adding 999 over and over: 999, 1998, 2997, 3996, and so on. Each of these numbers is a multiple of 999. 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 999. To find the first few multiples of 999, you could just multiply the 999 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 999?
To find the first 10 multiples of 999, let’s multiply in sequence from 1 to 10:
999
∗
1
=
999
999 * 1 = 999
999 ∗ 1 = 999
999
∗
2
=
1998
999 * 2 = 1998
999 ∗ 2 = 1998
999
∗
3
=
2997
999 * 3 = 2997
999 ∗ 3 = 2997
999
∗
4
=
3996
999 * 4 = 3996
999 ∗ 4 = 3996
999
∗
5
=
4995
999 * 5 = 4995
999 ∗ 5 = 4995
999
∗
6
=
5994
999 * 6 = 5994
999 ∗ 6 = 5994
999
∗
7
=
6993
999 * 7 = 6993
999 ∗ 7 = 6993
999
∗
8
=
7992
999 * 8 = 7992
999 ∗ 8 = 7992
999
∗
9
=
8991
999 * 9 = 8991
999 ∗ 9 = 8991
999
∗
10
=
9990
999 * 10 = 9990
999 ∗ 10 = 9990
So, the first 10 multiples of 999 are: 999, 1998, 2997, 3996, 4995, 5994, 6993, 7992, 8991 and 9990.
