Multiples of Ten
For a number to be a multiple of ten it has to end in a zero. (eg: 1760) is a multiple of ten because the last number is zero.
Multiples of nine
To know if a number is a multiple of nine you must add up all the digits and if the sum equals three or nine the whole number is, But if the sum equals a two or more digit number you add those up to get a sum of 3 or nine.
Multiples of eight
To find out multiples of 8 just look at the last three didgets and if they are divisable of 8 the whole number is, to find out if the last three didgets are divisable by 8 look at the last two didgets and if they are divisable by 4 the whole number is and if you still don't know cut that number in half and if it is divisable by 2 the whole number is.
Multiples of 5
For a number to be a multiple of five it has to end in a five or zero (eg: 5575 or 5570) because the last digit is five or zero.
Multiples of 4
To find out if a number is a multiple of four you look at the last TWO digits and if they are a number like 24,44,84 (any number that's a multiple of four).
Multiples of 3
To find out if a number is a multiple of three you must add up all the digits and if they equal three,six or nine and if you end up with a number like 65 you add those numbers up 6+5= 11 so 506 is not a multiple of three.

Multiples of 2
multiples of two are one of the simplest rules you can learn. All you do is look at the very last number and if it is even then the whole number is (eg: 3572 ).is even cause the last number is even
