Solve problems involving
multiplication or division
5,542 ÷ 17 = 326
Explain how you can use this fact to find the answer to 18 × 326
This shows that 17 x 326 = 5542
so you can work out 326 + 5542
because 1 x 326 = 326
and if you add 1 times a number to 17 times a number,
you get 18 times that number.
There are 25 children in the lunch queue, including Nik.
Nik says, ‘There are twice as many children in front of me as there

A builder needs 7600 bricks to build a wall.
There are 500 bricks in a load.
How many loads must the builder buy? 16 loads
1 load = 500 bricks
2 loads = 1000 bricks
14 loads = 7000 bricks
15 loads = 7500 bricks … but the builder needs 100 more bricks
16 loads = 8000 bricks
The price of one load of 500 bricks is £230 £ 230.00
What is the cost in pence of one brick?
23000 ÷ 500 = 4 6p

The rule for this sequence of numbers is ‘add 3 each time’.
1 4 7 10 13 16 …
The sequence continues in the same way.
Mary says, ‘No matter how far you go there will never be a multiple
of 3 in the sequence.’ Is she correct? Explain how you know.
3 6 9 12 15 … multiples of 3
Mary is correct.
The numbers in the sequence are always 1 more than a multiple of 3.
This sequence of numbers goes up by 40 each time.
40 80 120 160 200 … multiples of 40
This sequence continues.
Will the number 2140 be in the sequence? Explain how you know.
2140 ÷ 40 = 53 r20 It will not be in the sequence.
All numbers in the sequence are
5 3 r2 multiples of 40.

The sequence continues in the same way.
Will the number 777 be in the sequence? Explain how you know.
Multiples of 7: 7, 14, 21, 28, …
The numbers in this sequence are always
1 more than a multiple of 7.
777 ÷ 7 = 111
…so 777 is a multiple of 7
It will not be in the sequence.
