Multiples of 506 are all integers divisible by 506 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 506 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 506. The smallest multiples of 506 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 506 since 0 × 506 = 0
506 : in fact, 506 is a multiple of itself, since 506 is divisible by 506 (it was 506 / 506 = 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 506, the answer is: No, 506 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 506). 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 22.494 ). 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.
