Multiples of 290 are all integers divisible by 290 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 290 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 290. The smallest multiples of 290 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 290 since 0 × 290 = 0
290 : in fact, 290 is a multiple of itself, since 290 is divisible by 290 (it was 290 / 290 = 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 290, the answer is: No, 290 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 290). 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 17.029 ). 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.
