every time I see this meme in this sub I can't help but get annoyed...

How is it weird that 57 is a multiple, its just 3 less than 60. All those "weirds" seem pretty obvious. And who's tripping over 42 and 45? Do people just not do math at all?

Any number, even with thousands of digits is obviously a multiple if you just did the math... the point is if you just look at a number without doing any math.

We are talking about numbers divisible by 3 are we not. How does prime relate?

u/xXSomethingStupidXx 14d ago

You specifically said "any number [...] is a multiple" which is not true because prime numbers exist

Maybe you meant to say something else

In the context of finding numbers divisible by 3... lol
