multiple means many. but in math it can mean what number multiplied by another number to get a larger number.

lets take the number 18.

the numbers 6 and 3 are multiple's of 18.

you can take the 6 further and say that 2 and 3 are multiple's of 6.

so you can ultimately say that 2 is a multiple of 18 and 3 is a multiple of 18. it takes 1 two and 2 threes to make 18.
