Summary
Counting in multiples of 6,7 and 9 is similar to recalling timetables. There are tricks and patterns that can be used make multiples easier remember - in particular for 25 and 1000.
A multiple is the result of multiplying two numbers together. Counting in multiples means starting from zero and adding the same number each time. It is the easiest way to see multiples and the patterns that they produce.
To find the multiples of 6, create a sequence and add six to each number, starting from zero.
0+66+612+618+624
All the multiples of 6 up to 72 are listed below.
6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,54,60,66,72
Patterns to notice about multiples of 6:
Multiples of 7 are an extension of the seven times tables. To find the multiples of 7, create a sequence and add seven to each number, starting from zero.
0+77+714+721+728
All the multiples of 7 up to 84 are listed below.
7,14,21,28,35,42,49,56,63,70,77,84
Note: Multiples of 7 can be tricky to remember as there aren't any obvious patterns to help - practise repeating them from memory!
To find the multiples of 9, create a sequence and add nine to each number, starting from zero. An easy way to do this is to add ten and then take away one.
0+10−19+10−118+10−127+10−136
All the multiples of 9 up to 108 are listed below.
9,18,27,36,49,54,63,72,81,90,99,108
Patterns to notice about multiples of 9:
Is 198 a multiple of 9?
Add up the digits.
1+9+8=181+8=9
The digits add up to nine so yes.
To find the multiples of 25, create a sequence and add 25 to each number, starting from zero. An easy way to do this is to add twenty and then add five.
0+20+525+20+550+20+575+20+5100
All the multiples of 25 up to 250 are listed below.
25,50,75,100,125,150,175,200,225,250
Patterns to notice about multiples of 25:
Counting in multiples of 1000 is very similar to counting in multiples of 10, except there are an extra two zeros on the end.
Multiples of 10:
0+1010+1020+1030+1040
Multiples of 1000:
0+10001000+10002000+10003000+10004000
This is because 1000 is one hundred lots of 10.
All the multiples of 1000 up to 10,000 are listed below.
1000,2000,3000,4000,5000,6000,7000,8000,9000,10000
