Multiples of 526 are all integers divisible by 526 , i.e. the remainder of the full division by 526 is zero. There are infinite multiples of 526. The smallest multiples of 526 are:
0 : in fact, 0 is divisible by any integer, so it is also a multiple of 526 since 0 × 526 = 0
526 : in fact, 526 is a multiple of itself, since 526 is divisible by 526 (it was 526 / 526 = 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 526, the answer is: No, 526 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 526). 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 22.935 ). 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.
