Practice Multiples in Math

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

Numbers obtained by multiplying a given number by positive integers: the skip-counting sequence n,2n,3n,4n,…

Skip-counting produces multiples: counting by 3s gives 3, 6, 9, 12... — those are the multiples of 3.
