Multiples of 7
Multiples of 7 are what you get when you multiply 7 by whole numbers. Common multiples of two numbers lead to the LCM.
Skip-counting keeps the last-digit rhythm of 7: the first ten multiples end in 7, 4, 1, 8, 5, 2, 9, 6, 3, 0. The first ten also pair to 77 in five pairs (7 + 70, 14 + 63, …) — the same numbers the multiplication table shows under other names. Because 7 is odd, consecutive multiples alternate odd and even: 7 is odd, 14 is even, 21 is odd again. The tenth multiple is the place-value shift: 70 is just 7 with a zero appended, since multiplying by ten always moves one place left. First common multiple with 2: 14, in row 2; with 3: 21 (row 3).
