you’re mixing definitions a bit
multiple:
a multiple of a number n is of the form n × k, where k is any integer
so for 7 → 7×0 = 0, so yes, 0 is a multiple of every number
factor:
a factor of n is a number that divides n exactly
since division by 0 is undefined, 0 cannot be a factor of any number
so final:
0 is a multiple of every number
0 is not a factor of any number
Thank you so much!
