No, multiple and product don't mean the same thing. You get the product when you multiply two or more numbers together. e.g. the product of 5 and 7 is 5x7=35. The product of 2, 3 and 5 is 2x3x5=30

Multiples form an infinite set. e.g. multiples of 5 are 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25… Multiples of 7 are 0, 7, 14, 21, 28...

Not exactly, but they are related. If you talk about the product, you mean the result of multiplying two numbers. A multiple is the product of a given number, and some other number. Usually used as in "12 is a multiple of 4", meaning you can find a whole number "n", such that 4n = 12. You can't replace "multiple" for "product" in the sentence "12 is a multiple of 4". The concept of multiples is usually only used for whole numbers. Products can be the result of multiplying ANY two or more numbers.
