That's the definition of a multiple.
Multiplication
A multiple of 3 is a number evenly divisible by 3.
There is no definition - real or otherwise - because there can be no such thing as a "greatest common multiple". Once you find the least common multiple of a set of numbers, you can keep adding the LCM to itself over and over again. Each new number you get will be a common multiple of your set of numbers, but each new number will always be larger than the previous. This means that you can keep adding while the number approaches infinity and you will still never find a greatest multiple.
No.3 is less than 5, thus cannot be a multiple of it; 3 is prime, therefore cannot be a multiple of any number besides 3 (which is one of its factors); by definition, 3 is ismply not a multiple of any number but 1 and 3.
