Can 48 be a multiple of 48?
Yes. A number is always its own first multiple.
IS EVERY COUNTING NUMBERS A MULTIPLE OF ITSELF explain?
Yes, every counting number is a multiple of itself.
0 and 1 are not prime numbers but apparently they have their own special names what are they?
They both considered "identity elements". 0 is actually the identity element under addition for the real numbers, since if a is any real number, a + 0 = 0 + a = a. Mathematicians refers to 0 as the additive identity (or better said, the reflexive identity of addition). 1 is a separate and special entity called 'Unity' or 'Identity element'. 1 is actually the identity element under multiplication for the real numbers, since a x 1 = 1 x a = a. Mathematicians refers to 1 as the multiplicative identity (or better said, the reflex identity of multiplication).
What is the inverse to the statement x equals y?
x=y is the identity. It is its own inverse. So the inverse is y=x.
The number one is called the what identity?
One is the multiplicative identity or the identity of/for multiplication.
