Assuming that “multiple” in the question is intended to mean “integral multiple”, the answer can be found by first determining that (101/6) = 16 + (5/101). Therefore, the smallest integral multiple of 6 with a product greater than 101 will be the 17th . The product of 17 X 6 = 102/ The product of 6 and any integer less than 17 will be < 101, and the product of 6 and any integer >17 will be greater than than 102 and therefore “farther from”, the converse of “nearer to”, 102.
