Distance=Planck Length * integer value?

Is it appropriate to say that Any Distance=Planck Length * integer value?
If not, why is it so?

The PL is just a combination of units, used to suggest an order of magnitude. There is no reason to expect any quantization in terms of PL.
You have to ask: If so, why so?

I would say that while it is true that the Planck length is the smallest possible measurable length in the universe, it is not appropriate to say that any distance can be expressed as a multiple of the Planck length. This is because there are many other factors and variables that can affect the measurement of distance, such as the precision of our instruments and the gravitational effects of nearby objects.

Furthermore, the concept of distance is not limited to just physical measurements, as it can also refer to abstract concepts such as time or space. In these cases, the Planck length may not be applicable at all.

Therefore, while the Planck length is a fundamental unit of measurement in physics, it is not appropriate to generalize and say that all distances can be expressed as a multiple of it. Each measurement must be carefully considered and evaluated based on its own unique circumstances.
