Multiples of 266 are all integers divisible by 266 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 266 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 266. The smallest multiples of 266 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 266 since 0 × 266 = 0
266 : in fact, 266 is a multiple of itself, since 266 is divisible by 266 (it was 266 / 266 = 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 266, the answer is: No, 266 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 266). 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 16.31 ). 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.
