Multiples of 17
Multiples of 17 are what you get when you multiply 17 by whole numbers. Common multiples of two numbers lead to the LCM.
Skip-counting keeps the last-digit rhythm of 17: the first ten multiples end in 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0. The first ten also pair to 187 in five pairs (17 + 170, 34 + 153, …) — the same numbers the multiplication table shows under other names. Because 17 is odd, consecutive multiples alternate odd and even: 17 is odd, 34 is even, 51 is odd again. The tenth multiple is the place-value shift: 170 is just 17 with a zero appended, since multiplying by ten always moves one place left. First common multiple with 2: 34, in row 2; with 3: 51 (row 3).
