What are the multiples of 223?
Multiples of 223 are all integers divisible by 223 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 223 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 223. The smallest multiples of 223 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 223 since 0 × 223 = 0
223 : in fact, 223 is a multiple of itself, since 223 is divisible by 223 (it was 223 / 223 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
etc.
Is 223 a prime number?
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 223, the answer is: yes, 223 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (223).
How do you determine if a number is prime?
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 223). 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 14.933 ). 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.
