Multiples of 477 are all integers divisible by 477 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 477 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 477. The smallest multiples of 477 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 477 since 0 × 477 = 0
477 : in fact, 477 is a multiple of itself, since 477 is divisible by 477 (it was 477 / 477 = 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 477, the answer is: No, 477 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 477). 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 21.84 ). 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.
