    If the multiple of some positive number is prime, which statement about that positive number is true?

    • The positive number is prime.

    • The positive number is equal to 0.

    • The positive number is composite.

    • None of the above.

    Correct Answer
    A. None of the above.
    Explanation
    D. If the positive number is 1, then one of its multiples is 3—a prime number. Answer A is therefore false, as is answer C. If the positive number is 0, all of its multiples are 0. Therefore, it has no prime multiples, eliminating answer B. See Lesson: Factors and Multiples.
