No, it is not possible. Every multiple of 21 is a composite number.

21 is a composite number and its factors are 1, 3, 7 and 21(4 factors). Any multiple of 21 must have all the factors of 21. So, every multiple of 21 has at least 4 factors.

And a Prime number has only two factors so, any multiple of 21 can't be prime.

No. Let p1 be a prime number. Let p2 be a multiple of p1 such that p2 = p1 * k.  Then the factors of p2 are: 1, p1, k and p2. ==> p2 is not a prime number. Hence, a multiple of a prime number cannot be a prime number.
