We present analytical solutions for the subsidiary maxima in multiple slit interference up to eleven slits. For the number of slits N, there exist $$N-2$$ subsidiary maxima between the two adjacent principal maxima. By analytically solving the derivative of the diffracted intensity function with respect to the phase difference, the angular positions and amplitudes of the $$N-2$$ subsidiary maxima are expressed in succinct analytical forms for multiple slits with $$N \le 11$$.
