Multiples of 514 are all integers divisible by 514 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 514 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 514. The smallest multiples of 514 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 514 since 0 × 514 = 0
514 : in fact, 514 is a multiple of itself, since 514 is divisible by 514 (it was 514 / 514 = 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 514, the answer is: No, 514 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 514). 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 22.672 ). 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.
