Multiples of 426 are all integers divisible by 426 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 426 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 426. The smallest multiples of 426 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 426 since 0 × 426 = 0
426 : in fact, 426 is a multiple of itself, since 426 is divisible by 426 (it was 426 / 426 = 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 426, the answer is: No, 426 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 426). 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 20.64 ). 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.
