Multiples of 481 are all integers divisible by 481 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 481 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 481. The smallest multiples of 481 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 481 since 0 × 481 = 0
481 : in fact, 481 is a multiple of itself, since 481 is divisible by 481 (it was 481 / 481 = 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 481, the answer is: No, 481 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 481). 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 21.932 ). 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.
