Multiples of 511 are all integers divisible by 511 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 511 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 511. The smallest multiples of 511 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 511 since 0 × 511 = 0
511 : in fact, 511 is a multiple of itself, since 511 is divisible by 511 (it was 511 / 511 = 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 511, the answer is: No, 511 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 511). 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 22.605 ). 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.
