Answer: Answer is in the steps.

Explanation:

No multiple of 7 can be a prime number because then it will have more than two factors.7 is a prime number because it has only two factors 1 and itself. For example, 14 is a multiple of 7 because 7 times 2 is 14. But now it 14 itself will not be a prime number because it has more than two factors which is 1,2,7 and 14.
