A multiple of a number is the product of that number with any integer.
Examples
14, 49, and -21 are multiples of 7 whereas -3, 15, and 20 are not multiples of 7
The multiples of 3 form the infinite set {...,-9,-6,-3,0,3,6,9,...}.
in mathematics, a number or algebraic expression that divides another number or expression evenly—i.e., with no remainder. For example, 3 and 6 are factors of 12 because 12 ¸ 3 = 4 exactly and 12 ¸ 6 = 2 exactly. The other factors of 12 are 1, 2, 4, and 12.

multipleis many times a number which incidentally is called the factor.so if we take 8 and 2 8=4 times 2 and so 8 is a multiple of 2 and 2 is a factor of 8.

A factor is a number multiplied by another number to get the product.
A multiple is the original number multiplied by another number.
