Multiples of 143 are all integers divisible by 143 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 143 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 143. The smallest multiples of 143 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 143 since 0 × 143 = 0
143 : in fact, 143 is a multiple of itself, since 143 is divisible by 143 (it was 143 / 143 = 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 143, the answer is: No, 143 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 143). 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 11.958 ). 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.
