What are the multiples of 29?
Multiples of 29 are all integers divisible by 29 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 29 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 29. The smallest multiples of 29 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 29 since 0 × 29 = 0
29 : in fact, 29 is a multiple of itself, since 29 is divisible by 29 (it was 29 / 29 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
etc.
Is 29 a prime number?
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 29, the answer is: yes, 29 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (29).
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 29). 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 5.385 ). 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.
