Multiples of 5 up to 100
There are 20 multiples of 5 from 1 to 100: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95 and 100.
The multiples of 5 make two straight columns: the numbers ending in 5 and in 0.
Patterns that help
The last digits go 5, 0 and then repeat.
5 is odd, so its multiples go odd, even, odd, even: 5, 10, 15, 20.
A quick check: The last digit is 0 or 5. Odd lots of 5 end in 5, and even lots end in 0.
Building the list from facts you know: Work out 10 lots, then halve: 5 × 9 is half of 90, which is 45.
5 is a prime number, so its only factors are 1 and 5.
