The question asserts something that is not true.
For example, 2000 - 1000 = 1000. 1000 is not a multiple of 9.
Divide the larger number by the smaller one. If the answer is an integer, the larger number is a multiple of the smaller.
Divide the smaller number into the larger number. If it comes out evenly with no remainder, the larger number is a multiple of the smaller number. All even numbers are multiples of two.
The smaller number is a factor of the larger number, and the larger number is a multiple of the smaller.
Divide the smaller number into the larger one. If the answer is an integer, it's a multiple.
The Least Common Multiple is 35(this occurs when the larger number is already a multiple of the smaller one)(*The Greatest Common Factor is 7. This likewise occurs when the smaller number is a factor of the larger number.)Since 35 is a multiple of 7, it is automatically the LCM.
When the smaller one is a factor of the larger one. (That also means the larger one is a multiple of the smaller one.) The smaller number is the GCF of both.
No, that will indicate the percentage the smaller number is of the larger number.

No number can have a multiple smaller than itself. No number can have a factor larger than itself. In a set of two numbers, the LCM can't be smaller than the larger number and the GCF can't be larger than the smaller number. In rare cases, the LCM can equal the GCF, but it can never be smaller.
It depends on what they are compared to. In general, factors will be smaller than the number they are compared to, and multiples will be larger. Overall, factors tend to be smaller than multiples, but 20 is a factor of 40 and 10 is a multiple of 5, so there are exceptions.
In that case, the smaller number is a factor of the larger one. The larger one is a multiple of the smaller one.
Short answer: There is not one. You could say that the greatest common multiple is infinity since there are an infinite number of common multiples. If you give a specific number as the greatest common multiple, you can always find a larger one by doubling it. For example, 9856 is a common multiple of 88 and 112. But, it is not the greatest common multiple. I can double it to make a larger common multiple: 19,712. I could multiply this one by 100 to make an even larger common multiple: 1,971,200. I can always make a larger common multiple.
