The multiples of 12 are obtained by multiplying integers with 12. In this section, we will learn about the multiples of 12. For more details about multiples, see our page “Multiples of a Number“.
What are Multiples of 12?
A number is called a multiple of 12 if it is completely divisible by 12 with the remainder 0.
For example, 12 divides 24 completely, so by the definition 24 is a multiple of 12. Similarly, 12, 24, 36, 48, 120, 1200, etc. are all examples of multiples of 12 as they are completely divisible 12.
Remark: From the above definition, it is clear that any multiple of 12 can be written as 12n for some integer n. So the set of multiples is given by
{12n: n is an integer}
