Find the numbers below that are multiples of the numbers above and take them to the rectangle on the left.
Take the numbers that are not multiples to the rectangle on the right.

In order to do this, you can do the division mentally or use the divisibility criteria.

- The number 0 has only one multiple, that is 0. The rest of the natural numbers has an infinite number of multiples. The number 0 is a multiple of all the numbers.

- All the numbers are multiples of 1.

- The multiples of 2 end in 0, 2, 4, 6, 8.

- In the multiples of 3, the sum of its digits is also a multiple of 3.

- The multiples of 5 end in 0 or in 5.

- The multiples of 6 end in 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and the sum of its digits is a multiple of 3.
