Containing many times.
Word of the Day: Catachrestical
In arithmetic, a common multiple of two or more numbers contains each of them a certain number of times exactly; thus 24 is a common multiple of 3 and 4. But the least common multiple is the least number which will do this; thus 12 is the least common multiple of 3 and 4.
Containing more than once, or more than one; consisting of more than one; manifold; repeated many times; having several, or many, parts.
A quantity containing another quantity a number of times without a remainder.
Multiplepoinding
Encyclopedia Britannica
MULTIPLEPOINDING is the technical term for a form of action in Scotch law by which conflicting claims to the same fund or property are determined. The action is brought either by the holder or by a claimant in his name. All who have any claims in the fund or property in question are ordered to appear and give in their claims; the court then prefers them according to their respective rights, and the holder of the fund or property in dispute on payment or delivery is absolved from any further claim in regard to it.
