How to find the multiple of a number?

The course does not teach you how to write the equation to find the multiples of a number.

operators.swift
var results: [Int] = []

for n in 1...100 {
    // Enter your code below

    // End code 
}

The simplest way of finding out if a number is a multiple of another number is to divide the first number with the second and then look at the remainder, if the remainder is 0 then it is a multiple, if it is anything else it isn't.

The simplest way of doing that code wise is to use the remainder / modulo operator (%), just like you do when trying to find even numbers.

So the equation is something like this:

num1 % num2 == 0

That expression will be true if num1 is a multiple of num2, and false otherwise.
