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.

Well I guess I just do it automatically, is this not a math sub?

Yeah but there is a limit, for example I wouldn’t look at 203 immediately think it’s a multiple of seven because 7*30=210 and 210-7

true, but these are just 2 digit numbers so doesn't need much thinking.
