Multiples of 436 are all integers divisible by 436 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 436 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 436. The smallest multiples of 436 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 436 since 0 × 436 = 0
436 : in fact, 436 is a multiple of itself, since 436 is divisible by 436 (it was 436 / 436 = 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 436, the answer is: No, 436 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 436). 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 20.881 ). 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.
