Multiples of 117 are all integers divisible by 117 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 117 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 117. The smallest multiples of 117 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 117 since 0 × 117 = 0
117 : in fact, 117 is a multiple of itself, since 117 is divisible by 117 (it was 117 / 117 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 117, the answer is: No, 117 is not a prime number.
To know the primality of an integer, we can use several algorithms. The most naive is to try all divisors below the number you want to know if it is prime (in our case 117). We can already eliminate even numbers bigger than 2 (then 4 , 6 , 8 ...). Besides, we can stop at the square root of the number in question (here 10.817 ). Historically, the Eratosthenes screen (which dates back to Antiquity) uses this technique relatively effectively.
More modern techniques include the Atkin screen, probabilistic tests, or the cyclotomic test.
