Multiples of 232 are all integers divisible by 232 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 232 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 232. The smallest multiples of 232 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 232 since 0 × 232 = 0
232 : in fact, 232 is a multiple of itself, since 232 is divisible by 232 (it was 232 / 232 = 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 232, the answer is: No, 232 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 232). 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 15.232 ). 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.
