Multiples of 11
Multiples of 11 are whole numbers. They are the product of n natural numbers and 11. In other words, we can say that the multiples of 11 are the numbers that can be divided by 11 without leaving any remainder. We can create n number of multiples of 11 just by multiplying 11 with n natural numbers. Determining multiples of 11 is very easy.
In this mini-lesson, we will calculate the multiples of 11, and we will learn some interesting facts about these multiples.

What Are the Multiples of 11?
It is interesting to note that the first 9 multiples of 11 can be conveniently derived and are very easy to memorize. When 11 is multiplied by any single digit natural number, the product of that natural number is written twice. For example, 11 × n = nn; here n is a natural number. Like this, we have obtained the first nine multiples of 11.
- 11 × 1 = 11
- 11 × 2 = 22
- 11 × 3 = 33
- 11 × 4 = 44
- 11 × 5 = 55
- 11 × 6 = 66
- 11 × 7 = 77
- 11 × 8 = 88
- 11 × 9 = 99
Hence, the first nine multiples of 11 are 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, and 99.
First 20 Multiples of 11
The first 20 multiples of 11 are those numbers which we obtain as the result when we multiply natural numbers from 1-20 with 11. We just derived first 9 multiples of 11. Let us try a small trick to derive multiples of 11 for natural numbers 10-20. The first 20 multiples of 11 can also be obtained using the skip count method. To calculate the multiples of 11 for 2 digits numbers, take the sum of the digits of the number and place the sum between the two digits of the original two-digit number. For example, when 11 is multiplied by 10, take the sum of 1 and 0, that is, 1. Now, place the sum 1 between 1 and 0. The resulting number is 110. The product of 11 and 10 is 110, that is, 11 × 10 = 110. Be careful when you multiply 11 × 19 using this trick. The first 20 multiples of 11 are listed in the table below.

| 11 × 1 = 11 | 11 × 11 = 121 |
| 11 × 2 = 22 | 11 × 12 = 132 |
| 11 × 3 = 33 | 11 × 13 = 143 |
| 11 × 4 = 44 | 11 × 14 = 154 |
| 11 × 5 = 55 | 11 × 15 = 165 |
| 11 × 6 = 66 | 11 × 16 = 176 |
| 11 × 7 = 77 | 11 × 17 = 187 |
| 11 × 8 = 88 | 11 × 18 = 198 |
| 11 × 9 = 99 | 11 × 19 = 209 |
| 11 × 10 = 110 | 11 × 20 = 220 |
