No. If you multiply 15 by 10 to get 150, then you end up 10 higher than 140. You subtract 15 again, you get 135, and you jumped right past 140, so no it's not.

No, 140 is not a multiple of 15 because it does not appear in the list of multiples of 15, which are produced by multiplying 15 by whole numbers. The closest multiples, 135 and 150, show that 140 falls between them without being one of them. Therefore, 140 cannot be evenly divided by 15.
