What are the first five multiples of 5?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the first five numbers that can be obtained by multiplying 5 by an integer. This involves identifying the series of results obtained from these multiplications.
Answer
5, 10, 15, 20, 25
Answer for screen readers
The first five numbers obtained by multiplying 5 by an integer are 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25.
Steps to Solve
- Identify the integers to multiply by 5
We will start with the first five positive integers: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
- Multiply each integer by 5
Next, we multiply each of these integers by 5:
-
For integer 1: $$ 5 \times 1 = 5 $$
-
For integer 2: $$ 5 \times 2 = 10 $$
-
For integer 3: $$ 5 \times 3 = 15 $$
-
For integer 4: $$ 5 \times 4 = 20 $$
-
For integer 5: $$ 5 \times 5 = 25 $$
- List the results
Now, we compile the results from the multiplications to get the first five numbers:
The numbers obtained are: 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25.
The first five numbers obtained by multiplying 5 by an integer are 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25.
More Information
These numbers form what is known as a multiplication table of 5, and they represent the initial sequence you would obtain if you continued to multiply 5 by consecutive integers.
Tips
- A common mistake is forgetting to use positive integers only, thereby producing more numbers than the intended first five results.
