Is 0 a multiple of every whole number?

Yes, 0 is a multiple of every whole number. By definition, a multiple of a number is the product of that number and an integer. When we multiply any whole number by 0, the result is always 0. For example:

  • 0 x 1 = 0
  • 0 x 2 = 0
  • 0 x 3 = 0
  • 0 x n = 0 (where n is any whole number)

This shows that 0 is the product of every whole number multiplied by 0, confirming that it is indeed a multiple of every whole number. Furthermore, in the context of multiples, we consider the concept of divisibility; since any number can divide 0 without leaving a remainder, it further supports the claim that 0 is a multiple of every whole number.
