Multiple

A multiple of an integer is the product of that integer with a natural number.

Properties

• Every integer is a multiple of itself ($a=a\cdot 1)*Zeroisamultipleofeveryinteger(althoughnotconsideredinmanycases)(<math>0=0\cdot n$)
• If $a$ and $b$ are multiples of $x,$ then $a+b$, $a-b$ and $ab$ are multiples of $x.$
