0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 2053 since 0 × 2053 = 0
2053 : in fact, 2053 is a multiple of itself, since 2053 is divisible by 2053 (it was 2053 / 2053 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
4106: in fact, 4106 = 2053 × 2
6159: in fact, 6159 = 2053 × 3
8212: in fact, 8212 = 2053 × 4
10265: in fact, 10265 = 2053 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 2053, the answer is: yes, 2053 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (2053).
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 2053). 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 45.31 ). 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.
