Different words have different meanings. So not relevant. > to possibly mean any positive, negative, or zero value, rational or irrational, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/multiple https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/multiple multiple, noun: the product of a quantity by an integer. So no.
