Multiple:
* A multiple of a unit is a value obtained by multiplying the unit by an integer (whole number) greater than 1.
* Example:
* 1 kilometer (km) is a multiple of the meter (m) because 1 km = 1000 m.
* 6 hours is a multiple of the hour because 6 hours = 6 x 1 hour.
Submultiple:
* A submultiple of a unit is a value obtained by dividing the unit by an integer greater than 1.
* Example:
* 1 centimeter (cm) is a submultiple of the meter (m) because 1 cm = 0.01 m.
* 1 minute is a submultiple of the hour because 1 minute = 1/60 hour.
Key Points:
* Multiples are larger than the original unit.
* Submultiples are smaller than the original unit.
* These terms are used to express quantities in a more convenient and practical way. For example, it's easier to say "1 kilometer" than "1000 meters."
In Summary:
* Multiples are "bigger" versions of the unit.
* Submultiples are "smaller" versions of the unit.
