Q. Which number is a multiple of 7 ? \( \begin{array}{ll}\text { A. } 27 & \text { C. } 56 \\ \text { B. } 48 & \text { D. } 74\end{array} \)

Did you know that multiples of a number are simply the results of multiplying that number by whole numbers? For 7, the multiples include 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, and so on! Just by knowing this, you can easily spot that 56 is a multiple of 7. To effectively determine if a number is a multiple of 7, you can perform a simple division: just divide the number by 7 and check if the result is a whole number (no remainder). For example, if you divide 74 by 7, you get 10 with a remainder of 4, so it’s not a multiple. But dividing 56 by 7 gives you exactly 8, proving it’s indeed a multiple!
