Wait — perhaps not a multiple of 90 means not exactly 90, 180, etc., but maybe 360 is acceptable if not of 90 in sense? No — multiple means divisible.

Wait—Why 360 Isn’t a Multiple of 90 (But It’s Perfectly “Acceptable” as Is) When it comes to divisibility and multiples, logic often baffles—even for those who think they understand it. One common misconception is whether 360 counts as a “multiple” of 90, especially since 360 is twice 180 and 90 times 4—yet not strictly by the mathematical definition. But here’s the punchline: While 360 isn’t divisible by 90 exactly in a classroom math drill, it still functions beautifully as is in real-world applications. So perhaps the idea of “multiples” needs a refresher—and space is far more flexible than the rules suggest. ### What Does “Multiple of 90” Actually Mean? In mathematics, a multiple of a number is formed by multiplying that number by an integer. So:
- 90 × 1 = 90
- 90 × 2 = 180
- 90 × 3 = 270
- 90 × 4 = 360
