A- 0

Its like

16 * something integer = gives a prime number

eg. 16 * 1/8 = does give 2 but 1/8 is not integer.

Agreed.

Remember....MORE MULTIPLES, FEWER FACTORS
This asks for multiples, so logically no prime numbers can be multiples of 16 (or else they wouldn't be prime)

Am I missing something here.

I thought (A) was too obvious.

How can it remain a prime number if it has 2 integer factors (with one 16)?

I am bit lost. Perhaps its a straightforward and simple questions.

Anyone with different answer and explanation
