Is a number a multiple of itself or not?

Answer 1

In mathematical terms, a multiple of a number is that number multiplied by any positive integer. Since the number 1 counts as a positive integer, then yes, a number is a multiple of itself. So if you were, for example, listing multiples of the number 5, you would start with 5. The list would look like this: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 30, 35 40, 45, 50 (etc.).
