What Are the Multiples of 50?
The product of two numbers is called a multiple. The product of 50 with other numbers are the multiples of 50. The first few multiples of 50 are 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, and so on. We get successive multiples of 50 by skip counting.
First 20 Multiples of 50
The multiples of 50 are the numbers that are generated when 50 is multiplied by any natural number. We obtain the first 20 multiples of 50 by finding the product of 50 and the first 20 natural numbers.

|---|---|
| 50 × 1 = 50 | 50 × 11 = 550 |
| 50 × 2 = 100 | 50 × 12 = 600 |
| 50 × 3 = 150 | 50 × 13 = 650 |
| 50 × 4 = 200 | 50 × 14 = 700 |
| 50 × 5 = 250 | 50 × 15 = 750 |
| 50 × 6 = 300 | 50 × 16 = 800 |
| 50 × 7 = 350 | 50 × 17 = 850 |
| 50 × 8 = 400 | 50 × 18 = 900 |
| 50 × 9 = 450 | 50 × 19 = 950 |
| 50 × 10 = 500 | 50 × 20 = 1000 |
Important Notes:
- The smallest multiple of every number is the number itself, that is, 50 × 1 = 50.
- If a number is a multiple of 50, it will have its last digit as 0 or 5.
- A multiple is termed to be a common multiple if it is common for two or more numbers. Example: 50 × 2 = 100, 2 × 50 = 100; 100 is a common multiple of 50 and 2.
- The number of multiples for a given number is infinite.
To understand the concept of finding multiples, let us take a few more examples.
- Multiples of 45 - The first five multiples of 45 are 45, 90, 135, 180, and 225
- Multiples of 5 - The first five multiples of 5 are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25
- Multiples of 25 - The first five multiples of 25 are 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125.
- Multiples of 75 - The first five multiples of 75 are 75, 150, 225, 300, and 375.

What are the first few multiples of 50?
The first few multiples of 50 are 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, and so on.
What is the sum of the first five multiples of 50?
The first five multiples of 5 are 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250. The sum of the first five multiples of 50 is 750.
What is the least common multiple of 50 and 60?
The least common multiple of 50 and 60 can be calculated by: (50 × 60)/GCF(50,60). Here GCF(50,60) is the greatest common factor of 50 and 60.
GCF(50, 60) = 10
LCM(50, 60) = (50 × 60)/GCF(50, 60) = 3000/12 = 300
