Multiples of 2 up to 100

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92, 94, 96, 98, 100

There are 50 multiples of 2 between 1 and 100.

Multiples of 2 up to 1000

2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, … , 996, 998, 1000

That is 500 multiples of 2 below 1,000, ending at 1,000.

Factors of 2

Factors are the mirror image of multiples: they divide into 2 exactly, rather than being built from it. The factors of 2 are 1, 2.

Each arc joins a pair of factors that multiply to 2.

Written as pairs: 1 × 2.

Broken all the way down into primes, 2 = 2. Because it has no factors other than 1 and itself, 2 is a prime number.

Common multiples of 2 and other numbers

The lowest common multiple (LCM) of two numbers is the smallest number that appears in both of their multiplication tables. Here is 2 paired with the numbers it is most often compared to.

Pair	LCM	Greatest common factor	Next common multiple
2 and 3	6	1	12
2 and 4	4	2	8
2 and 5	10	1	20
2 and 6	6	2	12
2 and 8	8	2	16

How to find the multiples of 2

Start at 2 and keep adding 2. That gives 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and the pattern continues for as long as you want to go. Multiplying is simply a shortcut for the same thing: 2 × 7 = 14 saves you counting seven hops one at a time.

How to tell if a number is divisible by 2

A number is divisible by 2 when its last digit is even (0, 2, 4, 6 or 8).

Patterns in the multiples of 2

Because 2 is even, every one of its multiples is even too — you will never find an odd number in this table.

The last digits repeat in a cycle of 5: 2, 4, 6, 8, 0, then back to the start. Spotting that cycle is a fast way to rule out a wrong answer.

What are the multiples of 2 up to 1000?

There are 500 multiples of 2 below 1,000. They run from 2 up to 1,000.

What is the 10th multiple of 2?

The 10th multiple of 2 is 2 × 10 = 20.

What are the factors of 2?

The factors of 2 are 1, 2 — 2 in total. Factors divide into 2; multiples are built out of it.

Is 2 a prime number?

Yes. 2 is prime, because its only factors are 1 and 2 itself.

What is the LCM of 2 and 3?

The lowest common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6. It is the first number that appears in both multiplication tables.
