A common multipleMultiple Mul"ti*ple, n. (Math.)
A quantity containing another quantity a number of times
without a remainder.
Note:
A common multiple of two or more numbers contains each of
them a number of times exactly; thus, 24 is a common
multiple of 3 and 4. The
least common multiple is the least number that will do
this; thus, 12 is the least common multiple of 3 and 4. Endogenous multiplicationEndogenous En*dog"e*nous, a.
1. (Bot.) Increasing by internal growth and elongation at the
summit, instead of externally, and having no distinction
of pith, wood, and bark, as the rattan, the palm, the
cornstalk.
2. (Biol.) Originating from within; increasing by internal
growth.
Endogenous multiplication (Biol.), a method of cell
formation, seen in cells having a cell wall. The nucleus
and protoplasm divide into two distinct masses; these in
turn become divided and subdivided, each division becoming
a new cell, until finally the original cell wall is
ruptured and the new cells are liberated (see
Segmentation, and Illust. of Cell Division, under
Division). This mode of growth is characteristic of many
forms of cells, both animal and vegetable. Equimultiple
Equimultiple E`qui*mul"ti*ple, n. (Math.)
One of the products arising from the multiplication of two or
more quantities by the same number or quantity. Thus, seven
times 2, or 14, and seven times 4, or 28, are equimultiples
of 2 and 4.
Law of multiple proportionMultiple Mul"ti*ple, a. [Cf. F. multiple, and E. quadruple,
and multiply.]
Containing more than once, or more than one; consisting of
more than one; manifold; repeated many times; having several,
or many, parts.
Law of multiple proportion (Chem.), the generalization that
when the same elements unite in more than one proportion,
forming two or more different compounds, the higher
proportions of the elements in such compounds are simple
multiplies of the lowest proportion, or the proportions
are connected by some simple common factor; thus, iron and
oxygen unite in the proportions FeO, Fe2O3, Fe3O4,
in which compounds, considering the oxygen, 3 and 4 are
simple multiplies of 1. Called also the Law of Dalton,
from its discoverer.
Multiple algebra, a branch of advanced mathematics that
treats of operations upon units compounded of two or more
unlike units.
Multiple conjugation (Biol.), a coalescence of many cells
(as where an indefinite number of am[oe]boid cells flow
together into a single mass) from which conjugation proper
and even fertilization may have been evolved.
Multiple fruits. (Bot.) See Collective fruit, under
Collective.
Multiple star (Astron.), several stars in close proximity,
which appear to form a single system. least common multipleMultiple Mul"ti*ple, n. (Math.)
A quantity containing another quantity a number of times
without a remainder.
Note:
A common multiple of two or more numbers contains each of
them a number of times exactly; thus, 24 is a common
multiple of 3 and 4. The
least common multiple is the least number that will do
this; thus, 12 is the least common multiple of 3 and 4. Morus multicaulisMorus Mo"rus, n. [L., mulberry tree. See Mulberry.] (Bot.)
A genus of trees, some species of which produce edible fruit;
the mulberry. See Mulberry.
Note:
Morus alba is the white mulberry, a native of India or
China, the leaves of which are extensively used for
feeding silkworms, for which it furnishes the chief food.
Morus multicaulis, the many-stemmed or Chinese mulberry, is
only a form of white mulberry, preferred on account of its
more abundant leaves.
Morus nigra, the black mulberry, produces a dark-colored
fruit, of an agreeable flavor. Multi-
