Multiples of 279 are all integers divisible by 279 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 279 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 279. The smallest multiples of 279 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 279 since 0 × 279 = 0
279 : in fact, 279 is a multiple of itself, since 279 is divisible by 279 (it was 279 / 279 = 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 279, the answer is: No, 279 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 279). 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 16.703 ). 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.
