Multiples of 2087 are all integers divisible by 2087 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 2087 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 2087. The smallest multiples of 2087 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 2087 since 0 × 2087 = 0
2087 : in fact, 2087 is a multiple of itself, since 2087 is divisible by 2087 (it was 2087 / 2087 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
4174: in fact, 4174 = 2087 × 2
6261: in fact, 6261 = 2087 × 3
8348: in fact, 8348 = 2087 × 4
10435: in fact, 10435 = 2087 × 5
etc.
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 2087, the answer is: yes, 2087 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (2087).
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 2087). 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 45.684 ). 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.
