Question

Write first five multiples of $8$.

Answer 1

Hint: In the given question we have to find out the first five multiples of a given number. Firstly, multiple is nothing but when we multiply one number by another number then the resultant number is known as Multiple. Now, the first five Multiples of any number means the given number is multiplied by $1,2,3,4$ and $5$ and hence we get the first five multiples of any number.

Complete answer:
The question is to write the first five Multiples of $8$ .
For the first five Multiples of $8$ , the given number $8$ is to be multiplied by another number one after another and hence we will get five Multiples of $8$. Now, which are the numbers which are multiplied by $8$to get five multiples of $8$ . From the given question, we are asked to write the first five multiples of $8$. So, the first five multiples should be the first five natural numbers. Now, natural numbers are the numbers starting from $1$ and up to so on. All the numbers starting from $1$ up to infinity (which cannot be defined) means unlimited. So, the first five multiples are the first five natural numbers. First five natural numbers are $1,2,3,4,5$.
Now multiples of $8$ means $8$ is multiplied by the first five natural numbers that is $1,2,3,4,5$ . So, when $8$ is multiplied by $1$ , we get $8$.
$\Rightarrow$ $8 \times 1 = 8$
when $8$ is multiplied by $2$ , we get $8$.
$\Rightarrow$ $8 \times 2 = 16$
when $8$ is multiplied by $3$ , we get $8$.
$\Rightarrow$ $8 \times 3 = 24$
when $8$ is multiplied by $4$ , we get $8$.
$\Rightarrow$ $8 \times 4 = 32$
when $8$ is multiplied by $5$ , we get $8$.
$\Rightarrow$ $8 \times 5 = 40$

So, the first five Multiples of $8$ means when $8$ is multiplied by the first five natural numbers $1,2,3,4,5$ we get $8,16,24,32,40$ respectively. So, the first five multiples of $8$ are $8,16,24,32{\text{ and }}40$. In the same way, we can find further multiples of $8$ as well as of any numbers.

Note: Multiples of any number concluded $8$ can be calculated. Multiples of any number can be found by multiplying one number by another. If the first five natural numbers are asked, that means $1,2,3,4,5$ and similarly, any number of multiples can be calculated. Also we can calculate multiples of any number up to infinity.
