What are the multiples of 421?
Multiples of 421 are all integers divisible by 421 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 421 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 421. The smallest multiples of 421 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 421 since 0 × 421 = 0
421 : in fact, 421 is a multiple of itself, since 421 is divisible by 421 (it was 421 / 421 = 1, so the rest of this division is zero)
etc.
Is 421 a prime number?
It is possible to determine using mathematical techniques whether an integer is prime or not.
for 421, the answer is: yes, 421 is a prime number because it only has two different divisors: 1 and itself (421).
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 421). 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 20.518 ). 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.
