Question

what is the smallest multiple of a number? ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The number itself. (Only for 0 or positive numbers)

The multiple of a number is what you get on multiplying the number with a natural number.

So to find the smallest multiple of a number you multiply it with the smallest natural number i.e. 1, which results in the number itself.

In case of negative numbers, you can't determine this since as you multiply a negative number with a bigger natural number the value of the result decreases.

For example, consider a negative number -10 and the natural numbers 2 and 11.

11>2

11*(-10)=-110

2*(-10)=-20

-20>-110

Therefore, for non negative numbers, the smallest multiple of a number is the number itself.
