Multiples of 13
Multiples of 13 are what you get when you multiply 13 by whole numbers. Common multiples of two numbers lead to the LCM.
Skip-counting keeps the last-digit rhythm of 13: the first ten multiples end in 3, 6, 9, 2, 5, 8, 1, 4, 7, 0. The first ten also pair to 143 in five pairs (13 + 130, 26 + 117, …) — the same numbers the multiplication table shows under other names. Because 13 is odd, consecutive multiples alternate odd and even: 13 is odd, 26 is even, 39 is odd again. The tenth multiple is the place-value shift: 130 is just 13 with a zero appended, since multiplying by ten always moves one place left. First common multiple with 2: 26, in row 2; with 3: 39 (row 3).
