Math in Focus Grade 4 Chapter 2 Practice 3 Answer Key Multiples q1
Explanation:
– A multiple is a numerical value that is generated when a natural number is multiplied by another natural number or counting number.
– Multiples of 7 are 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, … and so on. How do we get to know a number is multiple of another number? If a number is multiple of another number, then it is evenly divisible by the original number. For example, 14 divided by 7 is equal to 2, thus it is a multiple of 7.
– Any number that can be denoted in the form 7n where n is a natural number is a multiple of 7. So if two values p and q are there, we say that q is a multiple of p if q = np for some natural number n.
7 x 1=7
7 x 2=14
7 x 3=15
7 x 4=28
7 x 5=35
If a number is multiple of 7, then it is evenly divisible by 7.
14 is a multiple of 7 because 14/7 = 2
21 is a multiple of 7 because 21/7= 3
28 is a multiple of 7 because 28/7=4
35 is a multiple of 7 because 35/7=5.
Therefore, the first five multiples of 7 are 7, 14, 21, 28, 35.

Any number that can be denoted in the form 9n where n is a natural number, is a multiple of 9. So if two values p and q are there, we say that q is a multiple of p if q = np. In other words, the multiples of 9 are the numbers that leave no remainder (i.e. Remainder = 0), when it is divided by 9.
First 10 Multiples of 9: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90.
From the above multiples we need to write the least common multiple:
The least common multiple of 6 and 9 are: 18
Since 18 is the first number they have in common, 18 is the least common multiple of 6 and 9.

Question 20.
12 and 15
12 _____
15 ________
The least common multiple of 12 and 15 is ____
Answer:
Multiples of 12:
The multiples of 12 are the numbers that are generated when 12 is multiplied by any natural number. That means any number that can be expressed in the form of 12n where n is an integer is a multiple of 12. As we know, if two values, p and q, are there, we say that q is a multiple of p if q = np for some integer n.
– Thus, as per the definition given above, the multiple of 12 is obtained by multiplying some integer with 12.
– The multiples of 12 are 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 120
Multiples of 15:
Any number that can be denoted in form 15n where n is an integer is a multiple of 15. So if two values p and q, we say that q is a multiple of p if q = np for some integer n.
– The multiples of 15 are: 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, 120, 135, 150.
From the above multiples we need to write the least common multiple:
The least common multiple of 12 and 15 are: 60
Since 60 is the first number they have in common, 60 is the least common multiple of 12 and 15.
