Every multiple of a non-zero number is greater than the number?
Not necessarily. A number is also a multiple of itself.
Is every whole number is a factor of 1?
No. Every non-zero whole number is a multiple of 1.
Can a decimal be a multiple or does a multiple have to be a whole number. So for example is 2.58 a multiple of 10?
It has to be a whole number, or else every number would be a multiple of every other number.
Is 39 a multiple of 6?
Not in the normal usage of the words. Usually, a number is considered to be a multiple of another number only of there is an integer you can multiply the other number by in order to get the first number. If you allowed multiplication by non-integers, then every number would be a multiple of every other number except zero and the term "multiple" would be fairly useless. So in the normal way of speaking, 39 is not a multiple of 6 because there is no integer (whole number) you can multiply 6 by in order to get 39.
What is the product of any number and a non-zero whole number?
That's a multiple.
Is zero a multiple of a number?
No. * * * * * Yes. In fact, zero is a multiple of every number.
Which number is a multiple of every other number?
0 ie Zero is a multiple of every number
Which is a multiple of every non zero number?
There is no such number since you cannot list every non-zero number!
Is zero a multiple of every whole number?
Yes.
Every multiple of a non-zero number is greater than the number?
Not necessarily. A number is also a multiple of itself.
How is 0 a multiple of every whole number?
Any number multiplied by zero is zero. If you have something zero times you have nothing, i.e zero.
Is every whole number is a factor of 1?
No. Every non-zero whole number is a multiple of 1.
What are the multiplies of 10?
Every whole number that ends with a zero is a multiple of ten. There are an infinite number of them.
Is zero a multiple of any number?
Yes, zero is a multiple of zero.
Is zero a multiple of 19?
Yes. Any number multiplied by zero equals zero so the zeroth multiple of any number is zero.
What is the smallest multiple of a number?
The smallest multiple of a natural number n, is 1xn, or the number itself. We do not count 0xn which of course would be zero for every natural number n.
Why do we not use zero as the least common multiple of two numbers?
The concepts of GCF and LCM are restricted to positive integers. Since zero is a multiple of every number, it would be the answer to every LCM problem, rendering the concept meaningless.
