1. Multiple
The result of multiplying any number by any other number. The numbers 8 - 16 - and 424 are all multiples of 4.
If you need to add or subtract two fractions that have the same denominator - simply add or subtract their numerators - like this: 3/4+1/4=4/4 or 1 - If the numbers in the denominators are different - this opertation will invovle a couple of extra s
