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.
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 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 |
27 x 16 = 432 |
27 x 12 = 324 |
27 x 17 = 459 |
27 x 13 = 351 |
27 x 18 = 486 |
27 x 14 = 378 |
27 x 19 = 513 |
27 x 15 = 405 |
27 x 20 = 540 |
Now, we know the first few multiples of 27. They are 0, 27, 54, 81, 108, 135, 162, 189, 216, 243, 270,...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
While working with multiples of 27, we make common mistakes. Identifying these errors and understanding how to avoid them can be helpful. Below are some frequent mistakes and tips to avoid them:
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?
162 pottery items
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.
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?
81 apples
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.
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?
216 seats
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.
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?
135 photos
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.
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?
162 books
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.
