    So you are going to need to use either a for loop (I recommend for this) or a while loop.
    Help with for loops
    In order to get the multiples of x you use xN, x(N+1), x(N+2) ect, EG: The multiples of 5 are 5(1), 5(1+1), 5(1+2) etc. or the multiples of 2 beggining with 6 are 2(3), 2(3+1), 2(3+2) etc. So assuming you want to go up to 12, you need something that prints using that basic format.
    int multiplesOf = 5, counter = 0; //This is what your going to get the multiples of.
    for(int n = 1; n <= 12; n++) //The for loop, using n as our counter
    { //Begin for loop
        System.out.println(multiplesOf + " * " + (n+counter) + " = " + (multiplesOf*(n+counter))); //Print the answer out (5 * 2 = 10)
    }// End for loop
