What Are The Multiples Of 6? [Solved] - Cuemath

Multiples of 6

Multiples of 6 are the products of 6 and natural numbers. In other words, a multiple of 6 is a number that can be divided by 6 and leaves the remainder zero. Interestingly, multiples of 6 have a difference of 6 between each other. In this mini-lesson, we will calculate the multiples of 6 and learn interesting facts about these multiples. In this mini-lesson, let's learn more about multiples of 6 in the tabular form with examples.

  • First five multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30

What Are the Multiples of 6?

The product of 6  with any number is a multiple of 6.

6×1 = 6

6×2 = 12

6×3 = 18

 We get successive multiples of 6 by skip counting.

Important Notes:

  • Every number is the smallest multiple of itself.
  • All the multiples of 6 are multiples of both 2 and 3. 24 is a multiple of 2 and 3.
  • A multiple can be the common multiple of two or more numbers. Example: 100 is the common multiple of 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, 25, and 50.
  • All the multiples of 6 are even numbers.
