# Multiples of 4

Any number that can be expressed in the form of 4n where n is an integer is a multiple of 4. 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.

Some of the multiples of 4 include the following.

4, 8, 12, 16, 20,…., 44, 48, 52,….., 100

All numbers which can be divided or are a product of 4 are multiples of 4. However, factors and multiples are essential concepts for students to solve many problems in their board examinations as well as in competitive exams.

## What is a Multiple of 4?

As per the definition given above, the multiple of 4 is a number obtained by multiplying some integer with 4.

For example, 24, 28, 32 and 36 are said to be the multiples of 4 for the following reasons.

 4 × 6 = 24 4 multiplied by 6 to get 24 4 × 7 = 28 4 multiplied by 7 to get 28 4 × 8 = 32 4 multiplied by 8 to get 32 4 × 9 = 36 4 multiplied by 9 to get 36

Multiples can also be obtained through the repeated addition of a number as many times as required. For example, the first five multiples of 4 can be written as:

4 × 1 = 4

4 × 2 = 8 or 4 + 4 = 8 {here 4 is added for twice}

4 × 3 = 12 or 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 {here 4 is added for thrice}

4 × 4 = 16 or 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16

4 × 5 = 20 or 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 20

In the same way, we write several multiples of the given numbers.
