Multiples
Multiples are really just extended times tables.
The multiples of 2 are all the numbers in the 2 times table, such as 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and so on.
The multiples of 5 are all the numbers in the 5 times table, such as 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and so on.
Multiples of 5 always end with a 5 or a 0. You can tell 465, for example, is a multiple of 5 because it ends with a 5.
Write the first five multiples of the numbers shown below:
