Question: is 12 a multiple of 0?
Answer: Zero is a multiple of every number, though, again, a multiple that's not terribly informative. In particular, 0 is an even number, because it is a multiple of 2. ... The number 12 is a "multiple of 4" or a "multiple of 6" but not just "a multiple." (It is not, for example, "a multiple" of 5.)
