Fact - 3 (Multiples)

Fact 3 = Every multiple of a given number is greater than or equal to that given number.

Following examples further explain Fact 3 of Multiples :-

Example 1 = Discuss the Fact "Every multiple of a given number is greater than or equal to that given number" with help of given number 4.
Answer = Write the multiples of given number 3.
Multiples of 4 = 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48..........
Now, Multiple 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48 all are greater than the given number,
And, the remaining one multiple is equal to the given number i.e 4
Hence the fact is clear that "Every multiple of a given number is greater than or equal to that given number"

Example 2 = Discuss the Fact "Every multiple of a given number is greater than or equal to that given number" with help of given number 10.
Answer = Write the multiples of given number 10.
Multiples of 10 = 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140 .........
In the above multiples, Can you find any number which is greater than the given number ?
Hence, we can say that Every multiple of a given number is greater than or equal to that given number.

Example 3 = Discuss the Fact "Every multiple of a given number is greater than or equal to that given number" with help of given number 5.
Answer = Write the multiples of given number 5.
Multiples of 5 = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 45, 50, 55, 60, ...........
On studying the above Multiples, you can learn following two points :-
Point 1 = All the multiples are greater than the given number.
Point 2 = One of the multiple is equal to the given number.
So, it is clear that Every multiple of a given number is greater than or equal to that given number.
