Multiples of 1223 are all integers divisible by 1223 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 1223 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 1223. The smallest multiples of 1223 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 1223 since 0 × 1223 = 0
1223 : in fact, 1223 is a multiple of itself, since 1223 is divisible by 1223 (it was 1223 / 1223 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
2446: in fact, 2446 = 1223 × 2
3669: in fact, 3669 = 1223 × 3
4892: in fact, 4892 = 1223 × 4
6115: in fact, 6115 = 1223 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 1223, the answer is: yes, 1223 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (1223).
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 1223). 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 34.971 ). 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.
