Multiples of 222 are all integers divisible by 222 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 222 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 222. The smallest multiples of 222 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 222 since 0 × 222 = 0
222 : in fact, 222 is a multiple of itself, since 222 is divisible by 222 (it was 222 / 222 = 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 222, the answer is: No, 222 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 222). 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 14.9 ). 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.
