About Multiples of 4

This multiples of 4 quiz gives you divisions with a blank, such as ? ÷ 4 = 3, and asks you to pick the missing number from several answers. To get it right you have to think of the multiplication hidden behind it (4 × 3 = 12), so you review the 4 times table without even noticing and understand why multiplication and division are inverse operations. If you want to reinforce this same number in other formats, there are more games on the 4 times table.

The first ten multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36 and 40. Look at their last digit: 4, 8, 2, 6, 0 and then it starts over. That cycle is a very useful clue during the game.

Tips for playing better: Multiples of 4

Double and double again: for 4 × 7, double 7 (14) and double it again (28). It's easier than memorizing the whole table at once.
Rule out odd numbers instantly: no multiple of 4 is odd, so any option ending in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9 is wrong.
Watch out for tricky even numbers: 6, 10 or 14 are even but not multiples of 4. Test them by halving: if the half is odd (3, 5, 7), the number isn't in the 4 times table.
For big numbers, just look at the last two digits: 316 is a multiple of 4 because 16 is; 130 isn't, because 30 isn't.

The results of multiplying 4 by any whole number: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48… and so on forever.

How can you tell if a number is a multiple of 4?

Look at its last two digits. If they form a multiple of 4 (like 00, 12, 24, 36, 48, 56 or 84), the whole number is one too. So 1,024 is a multiple of 4 and 1,022 isn't.
