What are the Multiples of 40?

To get multiples of a number we need to multiply natural numbers with integers. A multiple is a product of a number with another number. If X is a multiple of a and b, it means a × b = X. Here a & b are the natural numbers and X is the resultant multiple. Below are few examples to justify the above definition mathematically. For example, 4 × 9 = 36, 36 is a multiple of 9 and 4.

Now consider,

40 × 1 = 40
40 × 2 = 80
40 × 3 = 120
40 × 4 = 160

Challenging Questions:

If a man brings tea in every 40 minutes and another man brings cookies in every 50 minutes in an office then in how many hours both will come together?

Example 1: If a restaurant sold 40 pizzas every day then how many pizzas will be sold by the restaurant in 30 days?

Solution:

Number of pizzas sold in 1 day = 40
Therefore, the number of pizzas sold in 30 days = 40 × 30 = 1200
Hence, restaurant will sell 1200 pizzas in 30 days.
Example 2: Evaluate 40 times 12 - 40 times 7 using multiples of 20.

Solution:

Mathematically, 40 times 12 - 40 times 7 = 40 × 12 - 40 × 7
40 × 12 - 40 × 7 = 480 - 280 = 200
