What is a multiple?

Answer 1

A multiple is a number that goes into both the numbers like what is the lowest multiple of four and five and the answer is twenty

Answer 2

A multiple in mathematics is a number that can be obtained by multiplying the number of the multiple you are trying to find by another number. For example, 700 is a multiple of 7 because:

7 * 100 = 700.

Here are some more examples:

1. 1: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
2. 2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24
3. 3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36
4. 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48
5. 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60

Multiples are answers from factors. For example, multiples of seven are 7,14,21,28,35,42,49,56,63,70. 7*1=7 so 7 is a multiple of seven and all the other numbers.

Answer 3

If, for example, 12 is a multiple of 4, that means that there is a number n, such that 4n = 12. (In this case, 3: 4 x 3 = 12.) It also means that if you divide 12 / 4, you have no remainder. (If you do it with a calculator, you get an integer; no numbers after the decimal point.)

Answer 4

A multiple (of a number) is what you get when you multiply that number by an integer. Example: The multiples of 10 are 0, 10, 20, 30, ... -10, -20, -30, ...
