Dear Expert,

I'm not able to understand the solution.

Kindly explain in detail why are the numbers 3, 5, 6 not a multiple of 1

Question 11: State whether the following statement is true or false. All the numbers in the collection (3, 5, 6) are multiples of 1.

A True Ruby's attempt B False Correct Option

Solution:

A multiple of a number is obtained by multiplying that number with any number. Let us list down the multiples of 1. Multiples of 1 = 1,2,3,4,5 Thus, all the numbers in the given collection are not multiples of 1. Hence, the given statement is false.

All natural numbers are multiples of 1 . 
Multiple is  a number that may be divided by another a certain number(natural number)  of times without a remainder.
for example : 5 times of 1 will give 5 . so 5 is a multiple as no remainder is left . 

Hope this would have cleared your doubt .
