In mathematics, multiples are the result of multiplying a given number by an integer. For example, the multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, and so on. These numbers are all obtained by multiplying 3 by different integers. Multiples can be positive or negative, depending on the original number and the integer used for multiplication.

X is a multiple of Y means that X=c*Y, where c is a number. This also implies that Y is a multiple of X: Y=(1/c)*X. Or, to put it more simply: If you multiply two or more numbers take your answer and the number you multiplied by are the multiples. Example: 3*8=24 Meaning that 24 is a multiple of both 8 and 3. You could also count by that number and the numbers you say are the multiples of the starting number. Example: Multiples of 7: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, etc.

Multiples refer to numbers that can be divided by another number without leaving a remainder. For example, multiples of 6 are 6, 12, 18, 24, and so on, as they can all be divided evenly by 6.
