What are the Multiples of 2?

In this tutorial, we shall learn about the multiples of 2, tables of multiples of 2 and examples of multiples of 2.

The numbers that are exactly divided by 2 are the multiples of 2.

When we divide any number by 2, we get no remainder, It means, the number is multiple of 2.

In other words we can say that multiples of 2 are the numbers that leave no remainder (i. e. Remainder = 0 ), when divided by 2.

Examples : 2, 4, 6, 8, 26, 42, 56 etc. are multiples of 2.

Any number that can be denoted in the form of 2n where n is a natural number is a multiple of 2.

How to identify the multiple of 2?

To identify the multiples of 2, we observe the last digit of each of the numbers.

Last digit of 62 is 2

Last digit of 54 is 4

Last digit of 86 is 6

Last digit of 108 is 8

Last digit of 100 is 0

Last digit of 2500 is 0 and so on.

We see that last digit or one’s digit of all numbers are 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8. These numbers are multiples of 2.

In below figure we can see multiples of 2.
