Key Concepts & Vocabulary
TermDefinitionExample
MultipleA multiple of a number is the result of multiplying that number by an integer (a whole number).Multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, etc. (3x1, 3x2, 3x3, 3x4...)
Multiple of 100A number that can be obtained by multiplying 100 by an integer. These numbers always end in at least two zeros.100, 200, 500, 1200, 3500 are all multiples of 100.
Place ValueThe value of a digit based on its position in a number. For example, in 300, the '3' is in the hundreds place, meaning it represents 3 hundreds.In the number 7,425, the digit '7' is in the thousands place (7000), '4' in the hundreds place (400), '2' in the tens place (20), and '5' in the ones place (5).

Core Formulas
Adding Multiples of 100 by Hundreds Digits
$ (A \times 100) + (B \times 100) = (A + B) \times 100 $
To add two or more multiples of 100, simply add the digits in the hundreds place (ignoring the two zeros for a moment), and then append two zeros to the result. This works because you are essentially adding 'groups of 100'.
Adding a Multiple of 100 to Another Number
$ N + (A \times 100) = (N \text{ with hundreds digit increased by } A) $
When adding a multiple of 100 to any other number, you only need to adjust the hundreds place (and potentially thousands, etc.) of the original number. The tens and ones digits remain unchanged, unless the sum of the hundreds digits results in a carry-over to the thousands place.
