Multiples of 524 are all integers divisible by 524 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 524 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 524. The smallest multiples of 524 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 524 since 0 × 524 = 0
524 : in fact, 524 is a multiple of itself, since 524 is divisible by 524 (it was 524 / 524 = 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 524, the answer is: No, 524 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 524). 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 22.891 ). 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.
