Multiples of 20

From a multiplication fact, we better understand what multiples are. We know that 4 × 20 = 80. This implies 80 is the 4th multiple of 20. Multiples of 20 are obtained basically by adding 20 as many times to get the answer you want. For example, 20 + 20 = 40 or 2 × 20 = 40.

What are the Multiples of 20?

multiples of 20

Multiples of 20 are the product obtained by multiplying the numbers with 20.
20 can be repeatedly added to get its successive multiples.
The 15th multiple of 20 is 20 x 15 = 300. This list of multiples is never-ending, we can generate infinite multiples of 20.
The multiples of 20 are also the multiples of its factors. The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10 and 20. 40 is the 2nd multiple of 20. 40 is also a multiple of 2, 4, 5, 10 and 20.

List of First 20 Multiples of 20

The first 20 multiples of 20 are obtained by multiplying 20 with each of the natural numbers from 1 to 20. Since multiplication is the repeated addition, once we find the first multiple, we can add 20 to it to get another multiple and we can keep adding 20 to get the successive multiples.

Important Notes

A number can have infinite multiples.
20 is an even number, so its multiples will also be even.
All the multiples of 20 will be the multiples of the factors of 20 as well.

Challenging Questions

Oliver has 2000 notebooks. Can he group them in stack of 20 notebooks equally?
Andrew wants to buy erasers and pencils. The store sells erasers in packs of 3 and the pencils in packs of 6. If he wishes to buy the same number of erasers and pencils, what is the minimum number of erasers can he buy?

Example 1: Joe is fond of playing video games. There are certain rules of the game, that he is playing these days. After every level, one gets a credit of 20 points. On completing the 8^th level, how many points would he have scored?

Solution:
Credit gained after every level = 20 points
This implies, credit is gained after each level, and scores get added up in multiples of 20.
Credit gained at 8th level = 8 × 20= 160 points
Example 2: Max and Williams, both attend music classes at the same music school. Max attends once every 6 days whereas Jack attends the same, once every 8 days. Also, there are days, when they meet, following their usual schedule. Suppose that they both met on 3^rdOctober, then on what date will they meet again?

Solution:

We have to find the first common multiple of 6 and 8 to solve our problem.
Multiples of 6 are 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, ...
Multiples of 8 are 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, ...
The common multiples of 6 and 8 are 24, 48, ...
The least common multiple of 6 and 8 is 24.

Since they first met on 3^rd October, the date when they meet again for the next time is 3 + 24 = 27
