All numbers which can be divided by 18 are multiples of 18. These multiples, when divided by 18 leaves no remainder and the quotient, are natural number.
The list of multiples of 18 are:
| 18,36,54,72,90,108,126,144,162,180,198,216,234,252,270,…. |
Sometimes multiples are misunderstood as factors also, which is not correct. Factors of 18 consist of only those numbers which are multiplied together to get the original number. Whereas multiples are all the numbers which could be written in the form of np, where n is the series of natural number and p is the number of which we need multiples.
Also, when we divide the multiples of a number by the original number, then the result is a whole number. Let us see some examples:
- 54÷18 = 3
- 126÷18 = 7
- 180 ÷ 18 = 10
What is a multiple of 18?
Any number that can be denoted in the form 18n where n is any number is a multiple of 18.
For example, 10, 36, 180 and 60 are all multiples of 18 for the following reasons
| 18 | = | 18 | x | 1 |
| 36 | = | 18 | x | 2 |
| 180 | = | 18 | x | 10 |
| 72 | = | 18 | x | 4 |
