Multiples of 247 are all integers divisible by 247 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 247 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 247. The smallest multiples of 247 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 247 since 0 × 247 = 0
247 : in fact, 247 is a multiple of itself, since 247 is divisible by 247 (it was 247 / 247 = 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 247, the answer is: No, 247 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 247). 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 15.716 ). 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.
