Multiples of 27

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

In math, multiples are the products we get while multiplying a number with other numbers. Multiples play a key role in construction and design, counting groups of items, sharing resources equally, and managing time effectively. In this topic, we will learn the essential concepts of multiples of 27.

What are the Multiples of 27?

Now, let us learn more about multiples of 27. Multiples of 27 are the numbers you get when you multiply 27 by any whole number, along with zero. Each number has an infinite number of multiples, including a multiple of itself. In multiplication, a multiple of 27 can be denoted as 27 × n, where ‘n’ represents any whole number (0, 1, 2, 3,…). So, we can summarize that:

 

Multiple of a number = Number × Any whole number

 

For example, multiplying 27 × 1 will give us 27 as the product. Multiples of 27 will be larger or equal to 27.Multiples of 27

List of First 20 Multiples of 27

Multiples of 27 include the products of 27 and an integer. Multiples of 27 are divisible by 27 evenly. The first few multiples of 27 are given below:

 

TABLE OF 27 (1-10)

27 x 1 = 27

27 x 6 = 162

27 x 2 = 54

27 x 7 = 189

27 x 3 = 81

27 x 8 = 216

27 x 4 = 108

27 x 9 = 243

27 x 5 = 135

27 x 10 = 270

 

TABLE OF 27 (11-20)

27 x 11 = 297

Operations with Multiples of 27

Understanding the multiples of 27 helps solve mathematical problems and boost our multiplication and division skills. When working with multiples of 27, we need to apply it to different mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

 

Sum of First 5 Multiples of 27:

 

27, 54, 81, 108, and 135 are the first five multiples of 27. When multiplying 27 from 1 to 5, we get these numbers as the products. So, the sum of these multiples is:

 

27 + 54 + 81 + 108 + 135 = 405

 

When we add the first 5 multiples of 27, the answer will be 405.

 

Subtraction of First 5 Multiples of 27:

 

While we do subtraction, it improves our comprehension of how the value decreases when each multiple is subtracted from the previous one. 27, 54, 81, 108, and 135 are the first five multiples of 27. So, let us calculate it as given below:

 

27 - 54 = -27  
-27 - 81 = -108  
-108 - 108 = -216  
-216 - 135 = -351  

 

Hence, the result of subtracting the first 5 multiples of 27 is -351.

 

Average of First 5 Multiples of 27:

 

To calculate the average, we need to identify the sum of the first 5 multiples of 27, and then divide it by the count, i.e., 5. Because there are 5 multiples presented in the calculation. Averaging helps us understand the concepts of central tendencies and other values. We know the sum of the first 5 multiples of 27 is 405.

 

27 + 54 + 81 + 108 + 135 = 405

 

Next, divide the sum by 5:

 

405 ÷ 5 = 81

 

81 is the average of the first 5 multiples of 27.

 

Product of First 5 Multiples of 27:

 

The product of given numbers is the result of multiplying all of them together. Here, the first 5 multiples of 27 include: 27, 54, 81, 108, and 135. Now, the product of these numbers is:

 

27 × 54 × 81 × 108 × 135 = 116,689,920

 

The product of the first 5 multiples of 27 is 116,689,920.

 

Division of First 5 Multiples of 27:

 

While we perform division, we get to know how many times 27 can fit into each of the given multiples. 27, 54, 81, 108, and 135 are the first 5 multiples of 27.

 

27 ÷ 27 = 1  
54 ÷ 27 = 2  
81 ÷ 27 = 3  
108 ÷ 27 = 4  
135 ÷ 27 = 5  

 

The results of dividing the first 5 multiples of 27 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Sometimes, students get confused between the multiples and factors of 27. A simple trick to differentiate between the two is to remember that multiples are the products of multiplication, while factors are the divisors of the number. Multiples of 27 refer to the products we get while multiplying 27 with other numbers. For example, multiples of 27 include 0, 27, 54, 81, 108, 135, 162, 189, 216, 243, 270,…

 

The factors of 27 are 1, 3, 9, and 27. When 27 is divided by 1, 3, 9, and 27 the remainder will be zero. These are the factors of 27 meaning that these numbers can divide 27 without any remainder.

 

Factors of 27:


27 ÷ 1 = 27  
27 ÷ 3 = 9  
27 ÷ 9 = 3  
27 ÷ 27 = 1

Problem 1

Emma has started a new art class where she makes 27 pottery items each month. If she continues to make pottery at the same rate, how many items will she have completed after 6 months?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

162 pottery items

Explanation

Each month, Emma makes 27 pottery items. Over 6 months, the total number of pottery items she makes is calculated by multiplying the number of items made each month by the number of months.

 

Pottery items made each month = 27  
Number of months = 6

 

27 × 6 = 162  

 

Emma will have completed 162 pottery items after 6 months.

Problem 2

At the local farmer's market, Sam arranges his produce in crates. He places 27 apples in each crate. If he fills up the first three crates with apples, how many apples does he have in total?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

81 apples

Explanation

Each crate contains 27 apples. To find the total number of apples in three crates, we multiply the number of apples per crate by the number of crates.
 

Number of apples per crate = 27  
Number of crates = 3  
 

27 × 3 = 81
 

So, Sam has a total of 81 apples.

Problem 3

A concert hall has 27 seats in each row, and there are 8 rows in total. How many seats are available in the entire concert hall?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

216 seats

Explanation

To find the total number of seats in the concert hall, multiply the number of seats per row by the number of rows.

 

Number of seats per row = 27  
Number of rows = 8  

 

27 × 8 = 216  

 

Therefore, there are 216 seats in the concert hall.

Problem 4

Laura is organizing her photo collection. She prints 27 photos from each vacation she takes. After returning from 5 vacations, how many photos has she printed?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

135 photos

Explanation

To find the total number of photos Laura has printed, multiply the number of photos printed per vacation by the number of vacations.

 

Photos per vacation = 27  
Number of vacations = 5  

 

27 × 5 = 135  

 

Laura has printed a total of 135 photos.

Problem 5

David is setting up a library. He has 27 books on the first shelf, 54 books on the second shelf, and 81 books on the third shelf. How many books does he have in total on these three shelves?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

162 books

Explanation

Add the number of books on each shelf to find the total.

 

First shelf = 27 books  
Second shelf = 54 books  
Third shelf = 81 books  

 

Total books = 27 + 54 + 81 = 162  

 

David has a total of 162 books on the three shelves.
